Port of Thessaloniki


With a vibrant lifestyle, crowdy day and night, the Port of Thessaloniki can be the favorite sunset spot for those who enjoy socializing all together.

The Umbrellas


Nothing pairs better with a sunset than …the Umbrellas! The city's favorite sculpture, almost “dancing” underneath the last rays of the sun! A unique photo memorabilia!
