Situated on the northern fringe of the Thermaic Gulf lies the enchanting Thessaloniki.

With an incredible combination of rich multicultural history and a picturesquely peaceful atmosphere, explore the ancient secrets of this magnificent city and discover the special beauty and charm that this modern metropolis has achieved after its stormy history.
Every year, Thessaloniki invites new and emerging filmmakers to its International Film Festival, one of Southeast Europe's primary showcases for independent and professional film productions from all over the world — it's an unmissable event! With so much to do, be sure to explore the Ano Poli neighbourhood, Thessaloniki’s most colourful and historic neighbourhood, and one of the only places that remains intact after the Great Thessaloniki Fire of 1917!
