17 Things To Do in THESSALONIKI, Greece

thank you for sharing . i will be visiting in june

Solun is Macedonia.

what places do you recommend visiting for 1 day while cruising? thanks

amazing video, thank you so much. I have a tour via cruise in August with 15 people and I need to get familiar with this port of call. thanks again. have a great day.

Pites tis polis ....you are hungry or not, doesn't matter...if you go there be sure ,you wil eat its...

Thessaloniki,this name of the sister Alexander the Great.

thanks ! so helpful!

There is no other Macedonia except the Greek one. I want someone from Skopje to read me an inscription on an ancient monument since they say they are Macedonians. The Greeks can, the Skopians can't. Let them stop stealing Greek history, they are ridiculous and only the illiterate believe them

Thank you for sharing. I will be visiting in November

My favourite European city. My sister lived in the Stavroupoli suburb of Thessaloniki until 2015. I still have extended family there and some good friends too. I must go back one day x

Question: did you ask the waiter for a fork? Maybe he forgot? Just sayin..

good that you mentioned that dogs..and cats are all around...I am planining to go with my dog...so...on the leash she will have to remain :P

I Like The Pictures Behind you of my beatiful country 🇲🇦❤️

it's pronounced THESSaloniki not TESSaloniki

Solun,as Macedonians from Republic of Macedonia call it.

Macedonia is Greece 🇬🇷

Great video! Going in 2 days. Thanks for the info

Thank you. Your boyfriend is a vefy lucky guy!

As a parttime resident of Upper Town, I would say: pretty adequate! But I would recommend restaurant Rediviva instead.

im so sorry but your pronunciations are so bad, i know you are trying but please next time double check with a fellow greek we will gladly help you

Stopped watching after the first “Thessaloniki.”😂

What is the combined ticket called and where can you buy it? x

Theh sah low knee key...say it with me bebeyyy

Thessaloniki (sister of Alexander The Great named by Philippos B' = Thessalo + Niki . Thessalo is the part of the word Thessalia area in Greece , Niki is Hellenic word translated to English word Win. After the Philippos B' won the battle against Union of Thessalia named he's daughter Thessaloniki . The area used as port and on East side now days Thermi there was springs of thermal waters. The city build by King Kassandros at 316 B.C he was the husband of Thessaloniki. The 90% ruins of the city is Roman and Byzantine empire the 8% is older remaining of the first city the 2% is other and ottoman empire.

The Ottoman empire was so powerful

Tesla-niki 🤣🤣🤣🤣
There where 4-5 incorrect details and there are so many more bars-restaurants - bakeries and cafe's to recommend but overall it was a good video!

*The great thing about Thessaloniki (named after the sister of Alexander the Great) is the vibe, so the lack of real time audio is something to consider!

The Greek region IS Makedonia. The state north of Greece is CALLED (northern) Makedonia. Know the difference. That fake state (MKD) has nothing to do with king Philip II, king Alexander III and the ancient and present Makedonians. The kings spoke ancient greek. There is not a ”makedonian” launguage. You can only be a Makedonian if you are Greek. The unfortunate people who live in that fake named state are slavic. They inhabited the area where that fake state is about 1000 years after Philip and Alexander time. This slavic people speek a bulgarian dialekt. They not even need an interpretor when the fake ”makedonians” and bulgarians meet. The borders of the ancient kingdom of Makedonia is about the same as todays the greek region of Makedonia is. Please be more respectful about the past and present of the city and the region.

The city has a history of 2300 years and you insist in the ottoman rule era

Heya! What/how do you spell the name of the resturant near the Monastery please?

I'm an American Greek ,this young lady knows her history , great presentation for the history buff ,come to a highly tourist spot in any country and you need to open the wallet as well ,thanks for accurate assessing, I learned much from you ,good luck and 🍷to your health and wellness. Oh not giving you a fork is a big mistake on his part but your nice to not throw him under a bus ,don't judge me for saying that, but it's not intentional.

Thessaloniki is my favorite mainland Greek city (next to Larisa, my adopted hometown❤). In fact, the whole region (Thessaly) is! Much better food and much nicer folks.

I would love to visit this beautiful place!!

Food wise :
- Mpougatsa Giannis ( best Mpougatsa in the city )
- Evora ( great steak house)
- Elenidis ( Trigona Panoramatos )
-Terkenlis ( for their well known tsoureki )
- Giok Mpalik ( both for gyros but also traditional Greek recipes )
-Tarantino ( arguably the best burger )
- Pizza Poselli ( great authentic pizza)
- Upsilon ( for coffee / brunch or cocktails)
-Choureal ( profiteroles)
- Gorillas ( cocktails)

The mast on white tower was stolen from a Turkish war ship that used to torture Greeks inside... so now that flag pole is actually that mast from the ship...

Καλό ταξίδι

Actually now I just watched the whole video and it was very disappointing. Thessaloniki has been a greek city since 3000 years and yet you mostly spoke about its ottoman past. Very strange. And the food you spoke of was mostly turkish and not greek. Next time you should try and enjoy the greek city as it is and not its oppressive past!

But I hope you enjoyed your stay, great video.

You are incorrect in thinking that the greeks took their food from the ottomans. Actually a lot of these dishes are from byzantine times. And some of them are from ottoman greeks and not turks.

Food for though: The Byzantines did not call themselves as such. They referred to themselves as Roman, and were every bit the same Empire as the their ancestors.

Omg 😳😳😳 you are coming in my town? Is my honor
