The Best of Thessaloniki 🇬🇷We Can't Believe this Place! What to do in the City.

- We’re back in Greece! We’re starting this trip in the second biggest city in the country, Thessaloniki.
If you're looking for things to do in Thessaloniki this video is for you. We begin at pretty much the top of the city, at a castle called The Heptapyrgion,or Eptapyrgio. It started off as a castle and eventually turned into a prison. You can see remnants of both.
After this we headed back down the hill to a park with strange structures in them called Pasha’s Gardens.
We then headed all the way down the hill to get one of our favourite coffee drinks a Fredo Cappuccino and then explored the main square in Thessaloniki called Aristotelous Square.
Lastly we took a walk along the beautiful waterfront until we got to one of the most recognizable structures in the city, the White Tower. Here we headed to the top to enjoy the fantastic views of the city!
ABOUT THESSALONIKI
Thessaloniki is a Greek port city on the Thermaic Gulf of the Aegean Sea. Evidence of Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman history remains, especially around Ano Poli, the upper town. The ruins of Roman Emperor Galerius’ 4th-century palace include the Rotunda that has been both a church and a mosque. Much of the city center was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1917. The rebuilt 20th-century city has a modern European layout.

I am so happy you enjoyed your time in Thessaloniki!
Best milk for freddo capuccino is 1.5% milk, so yes, it's actually low fat milk froth! It's a greek invention, as is freddo espresso. It dates around almost 30 years back, but became very popular around 10-15 years ago. During the past recent years many tourists have come to know those drinks are more popular among the locals than the iconic frappe, so lately the drinks started to shyly spread out to some neighbour countries as well.
I know italians are known to take their coffee seriously, but we also do take our coffee seriously and drink lots of it and experiment a lot on it!
There are the hardcore of us who drink freddo espresso or capuccino all year round, but most of us drink cold coffee from April to October and switch to warm coffee November to March when the weather is colder.
As most greeks are born to feel grumpy during bad weather days, it's pretty common for most of us to drink cold coffee during i.e. a 15 degrees sunny day during January, after 10 days of 0 degrees cold, cloudy, rainy or even snowy weather to celebrate the sunshine.
What can I say, we are addicted to sunshine... and coffee!
Solun is Macedonian
@@alien4841 .Solun is what bulgarians call Thessaloniki..
I hope if you ever come back, visit
1 saint Demetrios church,
2 seich gardens
3 archaiological and medieval (byzantine museum)
AND DRINK GREEK COFFEE with a kourampie? a frygania? or loukoumi.
and I know you taste Makedonian Spanakotiropita, but find it in a more village style,
ευχαριστούμε πολύ!!!χαιρετισμούς από Θεσσαλονίκη.

My Greek is really rusty (Greek school was 50 years ago for me), but I think this says something like: We thank you very much. Hello from Thessaloniki.
Efharisto- ef-ha-ri-sto
Im from Greece. Funny thing is I stayed in Canada for 2 years a couple of years back and the no smoking anywhere was uhhhg. People though were super friendly.
@@evepaludan7713 change hello with greetings and you are spot on!
Thessaloniki is without a doubt the most underrated city in Europe. Most people in North America don't even know it exists yet it is a much more pleasant city than Athens. I've been 3 times and always had a blast.
Indeed. Chalkidiki also. Everybody knows Athens and islands but they miss the best.
I did my Erasmus for 4 months in this beautiful city! Lived on Agiou Demitriou (hope I spelled that right!). I remember being so nervous arriving as I’m Irish and had no word of Greek, the people were amazing! The most welcoming city, go raibh míle Smith agat Thessaloniki for all the memories 💚
Now I'm thinking to go Erasmus in Thessaloniki next year.
Greetings from an Aris F.C fan,the biggest football club in Thessaloniki 🟡⚫️
Thessaloniki is truly and such an amazing place and the food is so nice..We missed souvlaki, koulori, bougatsa. We will be back to that place within this year..
The food is so good there! We'll have a video all about that this coming Sunday - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers cant wait to see you then!
"Thessalo-niki" means "Thessalian Victory" (Thessalia is the first south region you see after Macedonia, the Thessalians were allies with Philip, father of Alexander and fought against the Phoceans and won. So Philip gave this name to his new born daughter to remember that victory. She's got married to Kassandros, who build the new capital and named it after her as it is mentioned on this video too.
Very cute video of our beloved "mother-city"!
Ef-charistO (charisto has the same root with charisma - maybe a tip to memorize it)
@Gee Grange Αν συνέχιζε την εξιστόρηση και έφτανε στο κομμάτι που ο Κάσσανδρος σκότωσε τον υιό και τη γυναίκα του Αλέξανδρου, τους οποίους υποτίθεται ότι προστάτευε, θα καταλάβαινες ότι ιστορικά οι προδότες ήταν πάντα η πλειοψηφία σε αυτόν τον λαό, και ότι τις μεγαλύτερες κορο'ι'δίες δεν τις φάγαμε από ξένους αλλά από "δικούς" μας. Σταμάτα να είσαι Ελληναράς, δες αντικειμενικά και coolαρε που δεν ξέρεις ούτε τα βασικά. Εδώ αυτοί που έχουν χρεώσει και τα δισέγγονά σου κάνουν ζωάρα κ ξαναεκλέγονται κι εσύ θες εκτελέσεις για ένα συνθετικό ονόματος.
There are actually two big universities in Thessaloniki.
There is the Aristotle University and The University of Macedonia.

Lived in Thessaloniki for 6 months! It's a great hub for visiting Olympus and Meteora 💜❤🧡💛💚💙💙💙🇬🇷
No way! You lived here for 6 months? Did you love it? We can so picture ourselves coming back here. 😃- Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers Yes, it's nice. Actually, I lived in Greece for a total of two years. Definitely coming back some day!
Yes I went to Thessaloniki primarily because it was close to Olympus. I ended finding a lot to love about the city
My father was actually born in that 7 tower fortress by my imprisoned grandmother . Its a long story about the civil war..
I am from Athens but Thessaloniki and all of northern Greece is so beautiful! I visit as often as I can! The Greek islands are very popular but Greece has so many other hidden treasures worth exploring 🏞🌄🎫🇬🇷
Just wait until you see what we're about to find. We have some really fun videos coming soon - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers
I am looking forward to them!💕
Such a beautiful country! Paradise on earth. Everything that you can ask can be found in Greece. Gia sou Ellada.
The world loves you
🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷❤️❤️❤️
Greece has so many beutifull islands but Macedonia is one of the coolest places that you can visit in Greece. Thessaloniki has deffinetly super party life!!
As a former Erasmus student in Thessaloniki, my favorite place used to be the Port of Thessaloniki!
We loved that area too - Anna
I’m from Thessaloniki and I’m out of the country 8 months now .. I’ve missed my country already I can say and you show me how beautiful my town is , coz you know , when you see something everyday you are just used to it and you can’t understand how special it is !
Guys really thank you for the feelings you create to me !
Hope you enjoy your stay!!
Thanks so much for watching Nikos - Trevor
I love Thessaloniki and thoroughly enjoyed the year I spent at the University there. I spent a year in Athens also, but Thessaloniki is my favourite by far. I so wish I were there right now.
Thessaloniki looks a wonderful city to spend time in.
Wow I was there in September, such a nice city. I love love this city. It has a cool vibe and food.is out of this world.
My hometown!
What an awesome place! You went from one coffee-loving country (Brazil) to another coffee-loving country (Greece) ! Those Greek frappés seems so good! Happy travelling!
Well we do love coffee Rogerio 🤣 Greece is one of our favs and we're always extra happy to come back here - Anna
Freddo espresso is way way better. Frappe can cause you stomach aches because it's low quality instant coffee. The coffee is generally high caffeinated. Way stronger than Spain and Germany. I don't know about Italy.
So as a Greek living in Thessaloniki i am failure cause i don't drink coffee.
The MACEDONIA is one and is here in HELLAS. "North Macedonia" is Skopia or Vardaska not real Macedonia.Bravo for the beautiful video :)
ΕΛΛΑΔΑΡΑΑΑΑ ΜΑΣ💙💙💙💙 = OUR GREECEEEE🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
So happy that you liked my hometown 🥰🙌🏽❤️
proud Hellene ,greetings from thessalonikiiii
Να έχετε παιδιά υγεία και ευλογία για αυτό που κάνετε για την πόλη μας την Θεσσαλονίκη, όλοι οι Μακεδονία μας και όλοι η Ελλάδα σας ευχαριστεί.
It's so weird seeing an outsider's prespective on your own city! Thank you so much for showing us off❤️
haha I bet... thanks for watching - Anna
Εκεί σπούδασα κ μακάρι να ξαναπήγαινα!!!!! Η ομορφότερη πόλη!!!!!! Έχει την ωραιότερη αύρα που δε σε αφήνει να φύγεις.

I rarely see youtubers do videos in my city and this made me so happy! xxx from Thessaloniki
Woohoo.. well now you have 2 new ones. I'm not sure if you have seen our food vlog yet on Thessaloniki. What a city! - Trevor
Fay kavazi.. Your city is beautiful..
I got the chills. You treated the city and all the sights with so much respect. Glad you enjoyed Thessaloniki ♥️
We're so glad you enjoyed the video. Your city is amazing! - Anna
Thessaloniki is the city of coffee. Best coffee for me .
So happy to watch people from abroad enjoying my hometown! 😊😊
Yaas! We love your hometown Maria. We had a great time exploring the city - Anna
It's "ef-ha-ri-STO", with emphasis on the last syllable
Greece is amazing !! You should vizit also the rest Macedonia !! Kastoria, Edessa, Meteora, Chalkidiki, Olympus mountain, Thassos island, etc !!
Thessaloniki+ Halkidiki = the ideal package
The next time are must visit chalkidiki. It's a place near to Thessaloniki, with the most beautiful beaches in the GR. The most beautiful water is the second "leg" vourvourou, kavourotrupes, and camping kalamitsi, is the bigger than others in second "leg". Or visit Porto karras luxury hotel, and doing sailing.
We always love finding great beaches. We'll look that spot up. Thanks Rose - Trevor
My hometown. Missing it so much
Very happy that you enjoyed your stay here!we look forward to see you again!such a lovely cople!
I'm so exited about this video! I grew up in Thessaloniki and apart from the places you visited, I'm glad to see that you have done your historical reaserch. I hope all tourists would be as kind as you are. Very good job!
So happy you're enjoying my hometown💜
We love it! - Trevor
im from thessaloniki and i havent even seen all those stuff lol
You are both amazing!I love Thessaloniki the most beautiful city in Greece and also I like your videos! Thank you guys
I am one of the people that started at one Greek video you made back then, and stayed since then, you guys are so nice and with a playful spirit! I like watching that. And when I heard you are from Canada, it all connected. I know a few people from Canada that live in Greece, even my English teacher back in the day was Canadian, and I always liked their character.
Wow! Thanks so much for sticking with us. We really appreciate it and we hope you enjoy all of our videos. We're going to have A LOT of new Greek videos. It's one of our favourite places to film 😃- Trevor
More Greece please. Always high quality production appreciated👏👏. First started watching after I found your Crete/Naxos/Santorini video's. Loved our recent holiday to Crete travelled the island for 13 days saw so much, still so much more to see.
Leigh there's so many more Greece videos on the way. Get ready! We found some gems! - Trevor
I'm so glad you guys enjoyed your time in my hometown!
Loved it! - Anna
Bright and wonderful. Greece. That drink looks delicious.
Thanks Steve! The drink is as amazing as the city hehe - Anna
I'm on the way to Italy (sitting at the airport) so I will be slow keeping up with your videos for a couple of weeks.
yes! more greece!
So much more coming Bryan.. likely all of Oct and Nov I'd say. We got some big ideas! - Trevor
Ilija Stojanoski love it was or whatever. Ancient macedonia was a greek kingdom
Wow thank you! Loves from Thessaloniki, Greece
Glad you enjoyed being in my hometown.. you guys are welcome to come back whenever you want to.. thanks for treating our city with respect .. Thessaloniki is really a treasure.. you can find soo many golden place's to be and explore ☺️
100%! The city is a treasure.. great word for it 🤗- Anna
What a beautiful city we have. We are really lucky. Greetings from Thessaloniki guys!Have a perfect day. Nice video!
100%! Your city is amazing. We loved it - Trevor
Wow very nice video Delightful Travellers!!!! Thank you for presenting our country !!!
Thanks for following along - Anna
Nice one. Thank you for visiting my hometown. Maybe next time you will have more time to show the lifestyle of the city which is very vibrant. Areas like Lathathika, Valaoritou, Navarinou are very alive. Also you didn't visit ancient Byzantine churches which are the main historic attraction of the city aside the old city walls. In the Eastern Roman Empire, Thessaloniki was the second biggest town. Constantinoupole was the capital and Thessaloniki the second in importance. Thus and since it is libarated from ottomans the ancient churches remain the most unspoiled and frequent monuments in this 2300 years old town...
Thank you for sharing your experience!!! ( From Thessaloniki all my love 😘😘😘😘😘)
Greece is so beautiful!
Thessaloniki forever❤️❤️🔥💕
Excellent presentation!
Nice video!We feel thankful for saying so many good things for our city.I could say that you are advertising Thessaloniki.We feel a little bit more proud for our city! Hope u the best guys
It's pretty easy to say good things about a city if it's great. 😀Thanks for watching - Trevor
Thank you so so much for featuring my city Thessaloniki! It makes me really happy to see you enjoying your visiting to my hometown. Thank you for the wonderful pictures which will travel along, throw your video, and your lovely comments about our city. I live in Thessaloniki all of my life and I know despite the beauty there are many difficulties that you surely faced e.g.the transfer along the places or the misinformation of the sights I wish we could be a more tourist familiar city, when ever I come across foreign tourists I try to help, wishing that someone helped you too!!! Efcharisto thanks!
Maria thanks for the kind words. We always try to help tourists in our little city in Canada too. 😃We adored Thessaloniki - Anna
The only travel video about Thessaloniki respectful enough to specify it’s in Greek Macedonia. Earned a like and subscribe. Next time make sure to visit Panorama, Kalamaria, take a boat ride to Peraia. All some of the most beautiful spots around town.

Last year we were islandhopping in the kyklades. The year leading up to this adventure I was looking around on YT for inspirational videos and I started watching your videos! Now, we are planing our next islandhopping and we are planning to start in Thessaloniki (if it is safe to travel again) and now I enjoying your video of this place :) I liked it a lot! So, I will continue looking for videos for the other islands we want to visit and hope you have done some videos for them too! :D
Oh so beautiful 😍😍😍 omg I really want to go there 🤭😩 lol. It’s gorgeous
