Thessaloniki or Salonica, is the second largest city in Greece and one of the oldest cities in Europe.

It is the capital of Macedonia, located in the northerner part of country and stretches over twelve kilometers in a bowl formed by low hills facing a bay that opens into the Gulf Thermaikos.

Thessaloniki is a pleasant city to live with a fascinating history and culture. Memories of 4000 years of history and civilization, as well as a variety of cultures and languages always characterized the city.

From the 3rd millennium B.C. up to the present day, Thessaloniki has attracted the interest of both specialists and the general public. A brilliant historic past which includes personalities as Philip the II, Alexander the Great, Aristotle, registers Macedonia and its capital city, the cradle of civilization which fame and glamour surpassed its borders.

The city, -with its two universities (University of Macedonia and Aristotle University) the international trade fair, the port, the special free zone that offers trade facilities to other Balkan countries, and the international airport-, is a lively modern city. Its ancient, roman and byzantine sites and monuments enable the visitor to have a complete picture of the city's historic past. Yesterday meets today in this city, as it offers cultural events, theaters, Modern Art galleries, libraries, examples of modern architecture, art nouveau and eclecticism, some of the most exclusive stores in Greece and an immense variety of high standard recreational facilities.

The Art centers as the Municipal Art Gallery, the Museum of the Macedonian Wars, the White Tower Museum, the Museum of Byzantine Culture, connect the city¢s past with the present, picturing its richness and its multi – cultural character. Thessaloniki¢s cultural life recently was enriched with the completion of the Hall of Music, but also with numerous festivals, conferences and events throughout the year. Two main squares Platia Aristotelous and Platia Eleftherias, both on the waterfront are alive with cafes and restaurants, children playing or people just strolling. Lefkos Pyrgos, or White Tower is the symbol of the city, a museum of art and history.

In addition, Thessaloniki is a lively centre of entertainment, offering plenty of action. It offers a wide variety of choices where you can have fun. The past and present merge at old taverns, "ouzeries", restaurants next to hotels and luxury bars, "bouzouki halls" (Thessaloniki is the cradle of modern Greek popular song, “rembetika"), cinema halls, theaters and sidewalk cafes on street pavements and squares.
