Many tourists from Serbia and surrounding countries visit Thessaloniki when they go or return from holidays. In addition, the holidays during spring are also current, but also towards the end of the season while it is still good weather, travelers from Serbia like to head to Thessaloniki.

For some, Thessaloniki is a city of shopping, for some is a city of history and culture, for some a city of good food, but what is important is that Thessaloniki provides something from everyone.

There are numerous useful texts on our website in the Thessaloniki region guide that can make it easier for you to arrange a trip to Thessaloniki, whether it’s just for a few hours on the way to your holiday destination and the sea, a weekend or a longer stay. These text forms are almost like a real guide to Thessaloniki, which is why we decided to wrap them in one whole and merge them into this text. In this guide to Thessaloniki, we will suggest what to visit, help you find adequate parking, make some of our recommendations and share our experiences. There you will also be able to read the best way to visit Thessaloniki without having to waste a lot of time looking for parking and traffic jams, and in some texts there are suggestions where to eat, have coffee and try some Greek specialties.
