Thessaloniki Region trip planner

Nestled between two gulfs, the Thessaloniki region features a diverse topography that includes rugged mountains and stretches of fertile farmland. Greece's second city, the region's namesake capital serves as a major sightseeing attraction, drawing big crowds with its many Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman monuments. By venturing farther away from the city, you can discover lesser-known but equally rewarding places to visit. Make the capital city your base and split your time between the region's national parks, archaeological sites, freshwater lakes, ancient monastic communities, and sandy beaches stretched along Thessaloniki's two coastlines. Thessaloniki Region is in Central Macedonia. Plan your holiday in Thessaloniki Region and other destinations, from the rural, to the urban, and everything in between, using our Greece planner .
