Welcome to Thessaloniki! 

Thessaloniki was founded in 315 BC by Cassander, who named it after his wife and Alexander’s the Great sister. It was chosen as the co-reigning city of the Byzantine Empire alongside Constantinople. Thessaloniki is truly unique in the sense that it intricately combines its thousand-years-old-multicultural heritage and the architectural marvels with the Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, and Sephardic Jew history. The cutting-edge art performances and cinematic avant-garde, recently launched cultural sites and creative projects, Arts and Entertainment hubs, numerous monuments, fifteen UNESCO World Heritage Sites and the 5km waterfront make Thessaloniki a ”must-see destination”.

You can reach Thessaloniki by air, train, road or sea. The Macedonia International Airport is not far from the city centre and the international train station offers train connections to a number of cities in Greece.

The Thessaloniki Urban Transport Organization (OASTH) operates a daytime bus (01X) and a nighttime bus (01N) which connect the airport with the City Center, Railway Station and Macedonia Intercity Bus Station (KTEL).
