The best of Thessaloniki’s legendary nightlife scene

If there’s a city that’s become synonymous with nightlife and entertainment, this is it. Thessaloniki’s diverse neighbourhoods keep finding new ways to enthral visitors, with everything from traditional tavernas to concept bars for every taste.

Warm, diverse, young-hearted, vibrant and eternally welcoming, Thessaloniki knows just how to have fun. It is a product of its ever-evolving mix of influences, never shy to reinvent itself, particularly around its food & drink scene, which is at the heart of its emergence as one of Europe’s hottest city break destinations.

You can just walk around until you find a place that grabs your fancy… designer store, meze restaurant, taverna or perhaps a wine, beer or cocktail bar. But it’s also worth knowing a few of the neighbourhoods that give it its edge, especially the ones where outdoor tables are buzzing from early-spring till late-autumn.

Perhaps you’ll choose according to the style of music that’s playing… pop, rock, indie, soul, jazz or rebetiko (Greek folk). It’s the sort of place the same bar can be grinding coffee beans and attracting a lively brunch crowd by day, before switching to crushed ice and lemon slices and letting a mixologist loose with a cocktail menu by night. And in Thessaloniki, night really does mean night.
