Since I went to Thessaloniki with a tour, the hotel I stayed in was 40 minutes away from the city center, so I don't recommend staying far from the center. Our guide told us that if we wanted to use a taxi, it would cost 45 Euros from the city center to the hotel. It is a city with a young population and nightlife in summer. The promenade and Aristoteles square were incredible! There is a wide variety of bars and if you want to eat there are many tavernas. There is also musical entertainment in the tavernas and the ouzo is really good. We paid 45 euros for the taverna but it was part of the tour package so it was more expensive. Even 20-30 Euros will be enough. Thessaloniki is a really colorful and fun city. I felt very comfortable even in the side streets and did not encounter any problems. I also saw that there are tours from the city center to various beaches. I can say that Thessaloniki is one of the most beautiful places to go in summer!

was a fun city and unsuspectingly fun, close to beautiful beaches. some harassment but everyone was friendly and the food was amazing and within a very easy budget. Very walkable and beautiful views of the ocean, accommodation was easy as well. A lot of cats and cool ruins but overall it is a port city not very beachy itself. In terms of harassment some men selling bracelets were very forward with their tactics sometimes with physical contact, but besides that there is not a lot of negative interaction.

Thessaloniki is a safe place for people that have good awareness of their surroundings. In the morning is pretty easy and you don’t have to be worried by walking around on your own. At night there are some streets that u should have your eyes open, but I would advise to not wandering around at night alone for sure

As a local there I haven't experienced any issues with safety.Greece is safe but the crime level around doesn't let you feel 100% sure that nothing will happen. I was never robbed or had my house broke in but its a mindset you build and a feeling of constant fear you may expect when you live alone. I was followed but everyone is gonna help as people are aware of this issue.
