9Thessaloniki – A Gastronomic and Cultural Gem

Greece’s second city thrives year-round, but it’s particularly rewarding outside summer. Famous for its culinary scene, Thessaloniki’s markets and tavernas brim with hearty Macedonian dishes in autumn and winter.

Out of season, the city hosts international film and documentary festivals, turning it into a hub for creatives and culture seekers. A stroll along its waterfront promenade in crisp weather is just as romantic as in summer, minus the heat and crowds.
