About the city of Thessaloniki
Thessaloniki, Greece’s second-largest city, is a vibrant cultural and gastronomic hub in the north. A historic melting pot, its cuisine blends Eastern, French, and Balkan influences with Mediterranean flavors. The city’s diverse architecture, featuring Byzantine, neoclassical, and Art Nouveau styles, adds to its charm. Home to 15 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Thessaloniki is an open-air museum reflecting its rich past, from Hellenic and Roman times to Byzantine and Ottoman rule. With a population of over 1.1 million, it plays a key economic and commercial role in southeastern Europe. Named European Capital of Culture in 1997 and European Youth Capital in 2014, it also joined the 100 Resilient Cities network and launched a 2030 sustainability strategy. Its thriving port and airport, welcoming 10 million passengers annually, make it a major gateway to the Balkans and beyond.
