The Thessaloniki City Guides answer what every visitor wonders: where to start the day with bougatsa, which ouzeri deserves a long lunch, how to see the Roman and Byzantine sights before they close in the afternoon and where a student city drinks after midnight. Every guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or look for and one practical tip per place, and it opens in your browser the moment you pay.

Three places from the guides
Nea Folia
Aristomenous 4, Ano Poli
A snug meze house up in the old town, full of locals and backed by a well-chosen wine list. Order a few small plates to share and let the evening run. Closed on Mondays. From the food guide.
Rotonda
Agiou Georgiou Square, off Egnatia
Built as a Roman mausoleum around 300 AD, later a church and then a mosque, with walls more than six metres thick and traces of gold mosaic in the dome. Clap in the middle and listen to the echo. From the things to do guide.
Waterfalls of Edessa
Edessa, about 1h 45 by KTEL bus
Greece’s most powerful waterfall drops some 70 metres into a green park right in town, and a path leads behind the falling water. Free, and at its best in winter and spring. From the day trips guide.
Finish the game, keep exploring
World City Trail’s Thessaloniki scavenger hunt, outdoor escape game and audio tour lead you through the historic centre. The guides take it from there: a meze lunch at an ouzeri, sunset from the walls of Ano Poli, a bus to the Edessa waterfalls or a free Byzantine church for a quiet hour.
