Regarding the past
For many, the city of Thessaloniki is a cosmopolitan choice. It perfectly combines its long history with modern aesthetics. In this way, it offers travellers small and large doses of beauty and cultural heritage. It is the second-largest city in Greece and has attracted the interest of many historical researchers and ethnologists. This is because it was one of the most important metropolises over the centuries. The city has managed with a remarkable way to preserve all the cultural elements of the past that today compose a unique cultural mosaic.
The largest flourishing of the city took place during the Byzantine period. It was then that with the growth of its population, Thessaloniki became the second largest and most important city of the entire Byzantine Empire. Its Byzantine wealth is scattered in every corner of the town. The church of Agios Dimitrios, the Arch of Galerius and the building of Agios Georgios in the area of Rotonda are some excellent examples. In almost every well-known street of Thessaloniki, you will be able to get a taste of its multicultural beauty. From the one end of the city to the other, there are hidden treasures worth discovering. By choosing to rent a car in Thessaloniki, you will see them without restrictions.
Back to today
A trademark of the city, the White Tower stands opposite the seaside road. It is the meeting point for young and older people for a stroll along the Thermaic Gulf. Thessaloniki may have a long history, but it has a new heart that is full of life. Starting from countless cafes and bars, it ends up enticing every traveller with local delicacies and dishes. You can start from a relaxing stroll on Aristotelous Square and continue on Tsimiski, commercial street, for shopping. Then, if you want a tasty break, the roads lead to Agia Sophia Square. There you will find small shops offering delicious brunch options combined with coffee and various drinks. Next, you can have an enjoyable ride in the Upper Town. The Castles of Thessaloniki are one of the most idyllic places in the city. The sunset from up there cannot be described with words.
Of course, the places to wander around don’t stop there. Just a few kilometres from the city centre is the Peraia area. Overlooking the sea and next to the most famous taverns, you will enjoy fresh seafood with the traditional – and much loved – ouzo. By renting your car from Thessaloniki, you are only 35 minutes away from Perea. Furthermore, if you continue below, you will find yourself in the area of Epanomi with the numerous beach bars.
