Located approximately 300 miles of Athens is the second-largest city in Greece: Thessaloniki.
As a Greek port city on the Thermaïkos Gulf, Thessaloniki is a vibrant metropolitan city full of history, beauty, character, and charm.
The city boasts of archaeological sites that date back to the second and the third century, which means be prepared to take a step back in time during your visit.
The Ancient Forum, the Palace Complex of Galerius Maximianus, and The Triumphal Arch of Galerius should all be on your itinerary.
Even though Thessaloniki is mostly famous for its nightlife and sightseeing, there are few nice beaches to explore. Most locals go swimming to Halkidiki, as most beach resorts are about a one-hour drive away from Thessaloniki.
