6Thessaloniki – The Laid-Back Alternative to Athens

Thessaloniki, Greece’s second-largest city, is famous for its vibrant nightlife, waterfront views, and laid-back lifestyle. It’s more relaxed than Athens but still offers plenty of career opportunities, especially in education and tourism.

The city has a lower cost of living than Athens, a great food scene, cultural activities, and is well-connected to other European cities. However, job opportunities outside education and tourism are limited, and winters can be colder than in southern Greece. Thessaloniki is an excellent choice for younger expats, students, and retirees looking for a culturally rich yet relaxed environment.
