As the crisp November air sweeps through Thessaloniki, it's the perfect time for day trips to explore the historic and natural wonders just a short drive away. One such gem is ancient Pella, the capital of ancient Macedonia and the birthplace of the legendary Alexander the Great. Join us on a journey through time and nature as we embark on a day trip to Pella, a place where history and beauty converge.

Our day begins early as we set off from Thessaloniki towards Pella, located approximately 40 miles to the west. The drive itself is a scenic experience, with the changing landscape providing a delightful backdrop for your day.

Arriving in Pella, you'll step into a different era. Ancient Pella boasts well-preserved archaeological remains, and you can't help but be in awe of the history that surrounds you. Walk through the ancient city streets, where once the great Alexander walked. Admire the intricate mosaics that tell stories of life in ancient times.  The archeological site that reveals the ancient capital presents the city with its building blocks, houses, and banquet spaces, giving the chance to the visitor to imagine the way of life of the ancient Macedonians. Maybe the most unforgettable memory for the visitor will be the site's unique mosaic floors. Take your time to explore the archaeological site, as each corner reveals a new piece of the past. 

To deepen your understanding of Pella's history, a visit to the Archaeological Museum is a must. Here, you'll find an impressive collection of artifacts and treasures from the ancient city. The marble head of Alexander the Great welcomes visitors to the new, modern Archaeological Museum of Pella, next to the archaeological site. The important find, in the form of the historical figure who stars in the paths of the open-air ancient city and the museum that was completed in 2009, is the introduction to the amazing collection of those brought to light by the archeological excavation in the capital of the Macedonian Kingdom. The Museum offers knowledge about the archaeological site to visitors, both are thematically connected and complete the experience. The collection is presented in five thematic sections, with relevant indicative findings (coins, works of art, inscriptions), representations, photographs, maps, drawings, texts, and everything needed for the time travel in the years of the ancient Macedonians. It's a chance to connect the pieces you've seen at the site with the larger historical narrative.

After a morning of exploration, it's time to satisfy your appetite. Visit one of the local tavernas and enjoy traditional Greek cuisine. From moussaka to souvlaki, the flavors are as rich as the history you're discovering. As the day comes to a close, you'll return to Thessaloniki with a deeper connection to the past and a sense of wonder for the historical significance of Pella. This November day trip is a reminder that even in the colder months, Thessaloniki and its surroundings have much to offer, whether you're a history enthusiast, a nature lover, or simply in search of a memorable day adventure. Ancient Pella is a testament to the rich tapestry of history and natural beauty that this region holds, waiting to be explored and cherished.

When you visit a new city, it's not just about the places you see; it's also about the people you meet, the traditions you witness, and the local culture you immerse yourself in. Thessaloniki, with its rich history and vibrant lifestyle, offers a unique blend of ancient traditions and contemporary living. We take you on a journey through a day in the life of a Thessalonian, so you can experience the city as a local.

Morning: Coffee and Connections

The day in Thessaloniki typically begins with a strong Greek coffee at one of the many local cafés. Join the locals in sipping this dark elixir that fuels the city's mornings. It's not just about the coffee; it's about the connections. Locals love to gather, catch up, and discuss everything from politics to soccer, all over a tiny cup of coffee.

Late Morning: Stroll through Aristotelous Square

As the morning progresses, head to the iconic Aristotelous Square. Here, locals and tourists alike enjoy leisurely walks along the city's main square. You'll often find street musicians and artists adding a touch of art to your morning stroll. Be sure to admire the beautiful architecture surrounding the square, which reflects the city's diverse history.

Lunch: The Art of Meze

When it comes to lunch, Thessalonians embrace the art of "meze." These small, flavorful dishes are perfect for sharing and are an essential part of the city's culinary culture. Choose a local taverna or mezedopoleio and savor a delightful array of Greek appetizers, from tzatziki to saganaki.

Afternoon: Visit a Museum or Gallery

In the afternoon, immerse yourself in the city's cultural treasures. Thessaloniki boasts a wide array of museums and art galleries that showcase its history, art, and heritage. The Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki and the Museum of Byzantine Culture are particularly captivating.

Evening: A Sunset Stroll by the Sea

As the sun sets, head towards the Thermaic Gulf for a sunset stroll along the waterfront promenade. The city's residents love to take an evening walk or bike ride by the sea, providing a chance to unwind and reflect as the day draws to a close.

Dinner: Traditional Greek Delights

For dinner, indulge in traditional Greek cuisine at one of the city's many tavernas. Locals are passionate about food, and you'll often find families and friends sharing meals late into the evening. Taste dishes like moussaka, souvlaki, and baklava – all accompanied by lively conversations.

Night: Live Music and Laughter

Thessaloniki's nightlife is famous for its live music venues, from bouzoukia to jazz clubs. Join the locals for a night of live music, dance, and laughter. The city truly comes alive after dark, and you'll find people of all ages celebrating life and culture.

As you explore a day in the life of a Thessalonian, you'll not only discover the city's landmarks but also the warm and welcoming spirit of its people. Thessaloniki's local culture is a blend of history, tradition, and contemporary living – an experience that will leave you with a deeper connection to this fascinating Greek city.

Not far from the city center, on its eastern side, between Villa Alatini (which today houses services of the Region of Central Macedonia) and Villa Morpurgo, there is something we did not expect to find in a big city. A neighborhood of old single-family houses, beautiful but spare. They all look alike, and all have tiled roofs and elegant wooden windows. Cobbled streets, climbing plants, rose yards and arbors complete the doll picture. Almost all appear to be inhabited or relatively recently inhabited, dilapidated no more than 1-2 houses.

The small settlement of 28 single-family houses built in 1927 was the inspiration of the contractor David Uziel, who was one of the main shareholders of the Thessaloniki Railway Company (the tram). Uziel collaborated with the important architect Jacques Moshe. The Uziel district is not the best-known creation of Jacques Moshe in Thessaloniki. His own design is the Olympian in Aristotelous Square, as well as the Olympos-Naoussa restaurant on the old beach (which was recently renovated and is reopening).

The gaze of the passers-by stays on the extravagantly beautiful single-family houses with their yards sown with rose bushes and climbing plants on pergolas, mandarin trees loaded with mandarin oranges, ferforge furniture and an aesthetic that exudes something from an era full of sweet memories.

Uziel – or Exoches - was declared a conservation area in the 1980s.

Today, historic buildings are far outnumbered by modern apartment blocks, but the storied few that remain are central to the culture of the city.

The Villa Allatini (Vitaliano Poselli, 1898), once the elegant prison of Abdul Hamid II, is now a government building, while the Ouziel Complex (Jacques Moshé, 1925-1927) remains what it’s always been, a collection of charming private homes. The Casa Bianca (Pierro Arrigoni, 1912-13), home to Thessaloniki’s favorite love story, was rescued from near ruin and is now the splendid home of the Municipal Art Gallery, while the Cultural Foundation of the National Bank of Greece has beautifully restored the Villa of Mehmet Kapandji (Pierro Arrigoni, 1893). The Villa Modiano (Eli Modiano, 1906) is currently home to the Folk Life and Ethnological Museum of Macedonia and Thrace.

The Geni Tzami (Vitaliano Poselli, 1902), the mosque of the Ma’min community, housed the archaeological museum for years. It’s now a cultural space, under the auspices of the Municipal Art Gallery. The Exoches was a sociable district, and it still is: there are fine cafés in the gardens of the Villa Modiano and the Casa Bianca, as well as at the Epavli Marokkou by the Villa Chatzilazarou, and at the former Villa Michailidi, near the Geni Tzami. Belle Epoque glamour hasn’t vanished from the Exoches, and it’s doubtful that history has finished with this area yet, either.

Looking for an easy day trip, just outside Thessaloniki? Look no further than Angelochori Lagoon!

This unique wetland of Northern Greece belongs to the officially protected sites of the Natura 2000 network, having the peculiarity of combining different habitat types. It offers the possibility of an easy day trip just outside Thessaloniki.

At a distance of 30 km from Thessaloniki, Angelochori is a seaside village with a history dating back to the years of Turkish occupation. Up until 1927 it was known by its Turkish name of Sofoular. Because of its salt ponds, connected to the lagoon, it was a centre of salt production as early as 1902, which until the 1970s was exported with axes and shovels and then transported by horseback.

The lagoon and its wetland

The lagoon is located 1 km southwest of the village. It is joined by salt marshes and separated from the sea (Thermaikos Gulf) by a narrow, sandy strip of coastline. The depth is very shallow and there is a rich flora around it, with reeds, sea lilies, rushes and asphodel.

Its importance is due to its function as a migration station and as a feeding ground for a large number of water and wading birds. Thanks to their populations, the Angelochori lagoon offers unique images. The flamingo populations, for example, provide an impressive sight, especially in winter, when the largest concentrations of flamingos are usually recorded. However, it is also worth knowing about 178 or so species of birds that live in or pass through the area, so keep an eye out for the water swallow, steelhead, reed warbler, avocet and chickadee.

Apart from the birds, the lagoon hosts other species of life, of particular interest to the observant visitor. Despite its shallow depth, for example, at least 12 different fish live there, including rare species such as the Zacharias and the Tainiosakorafa. Note also that the seabed is covered with meadows of the protected species Poseidonia oceanica - a marine flamingo endemic to the Mediterranean - which is home to the striking bivalve molluscs known as pina, which are at a critical point of extinction. Fishing for them is therefore strictly prohibited.

On the shores of the lagoon, you can see rabbitfish (small ground squirrels), badgers and porcupines, as well as species protected by the European Union such as the green toad and the Asclepius's lamprey. Which may be intimidating being a 2m snake, it is nevertheless harmless, non-venomous and clearly impressive as one of the largest in all of Europe. Also keep an eye out for the rare bobcat, which is on Greece's Red Book of Endangered Animals and protected by international conventions.

Other attractions in Angelochori

Besides its impressive landscapes and unique flora and fauna, the lagoon is famous for its salt pans, as well as for its famous preserved lighthouse and the Austro-Ottoman castle.

The salt pans

They are located in the northern part of the lagoon and, although artificial, they are fully in harmony with the natural landscape that surrounds them. They also contribute to the protected ecosystem, both by supplying water to the surrounding area and by maintaining marine life in the lagoon itself.

The Keeper's House was built in the 1950s as a protection measure against those who stole salt from the salt marshes. Since 1992 (when it was abandoned) it has provided a special attraction from which one can look out over the entire wetland. Today the building belongs to the Municipality of Thermaikos and is under the auspices of the Cultural & Educational Association of Angelochori, which has also used it for cultural events.

The lighthouse

Made of solid cinder blocks, like the chimneys of the industrial buildings of the 19th century, it stands on the cape of Megalo Karambournou (meaning "piston" in Turkish) and is one of the 27 lighthouses of the Greek territory that has been declared a listed monument of Modern Industrial Heritage.

The lighthouse was built in 1864 by a specialized company of French interests, at the request of the Ottoman Empire, which wanted to take advantage of the technological progress of the time to enhance navigation to and from the Thermaikos. The structure is 10,5 metres high from the ground and 32 metres above sea level. The flashes are white and red in colour and emit every 10 seconds, being discernible over a long distance (up to 17 nautical miles for the white ones).

In its first historical phase, the lighthouse used oil. During the Second World War it suffered several disasters, resulting in its closure, only to reopen repaired and automated in 1948, now operating on acetylene. In 1963 the switch from acetylene to electricity was made, increasing the range of its signal to its current levels.

The Austro-Ottoman castle

It was built in the period 1883-1885, almost next to the (pre-existing) lighthouse, by engineers who came to Angelochori from the Austro-Hungarian Empire on the order of the Ottoman authorities.

The latter considered that the point was of great strategic importance, both for the control of Thermaikos and for traffic to and from Thessaloniki, so they decided that a strong fortress had to be built. It came under the control of the Greek state in 1915, but it remained unused and thus often over the years fell victim to looting for free building materials.

Next to the castle, the bunker which was built by the Germans in 1940, when they occupied the area during the Second World War, is preserved today. It is open to visitors, except for the underground tunnels connecting the installations and the openings, which are forbidden to enter for security reasons.

What common thread could be linking Rosa Luxemburg, Jackson Pollock, Vasily Kandinsky, Leon Trotsky, Oscar Wilde and Yoko Ono with visual artists active in early 20th century Russia, such as Kazimir Malevich, Liubov Popova, Solomon Nikitin and Vladimir Tatlin? How did an art exhibition that was held one hundred years ago instigate such heated confrontations between participating artists, and how did a rare edition end up printed in the form of a wallpaper? How did a work of art end up going through... an X-ray in a public hospital? 

The answers to these and many more questions can be discovered by the public in the 50+1 stories presented in this exhibition, hosted from 08 June until 12 November 2023 at Thessaloniki’s MOMus-Museum of Modern Art, in Moni Lazariston (the exhibition will open on Thursday 08 June 2023, at 19:00).

More than one hundred works of art and archival material from the Museum's renowned Costakis Collection will serve as the basis for the narratives and journeys presented to visitors, functioning in parallel and complementary to the stories that accompany them. 

Almost the entire line-up of artists included in the Costakis collection are represented in this exhibition, together with all the various art trends and groups from early 20^th century Russian avant-garde, in an equal and complementary concurrence of artworks and texts. The narrative has a fairly anecdotal character and is enriched by the unabridged, original recollections of collector George Costakis, which function as the common thread.

Across both floors of the venue in Moni Lazariston, visitors will be able to see an entire era unfolding before their eyes: the period’s artistic pursuits, the travels and personal stories – that include both heated conflicts and deep friendships-, the limitless creativity and inventive experimentation of the artists, as well as the social, artistic, philosophical, scientific and literary turmoil of the era. Additional narratives describe the establishment of schools of art, the plans for the radical renovation of buildings and the construction of monuments, plans that never came to fruition; they present work uniforms meant to change the lives of workers; they recount instances of heavy-handed censorship that would often reach a tragic conclusion for the artists; and they follow the artists’ innermost intellectual quests and journeys and their challenging conclusions. And much more. 

We are not dealing here with isolated stories from the era that has gone down in art history as the Russian avant-garde. Besides, this era was never a coherent, unified movement. It was also a period that was rescued -literally- from oblivion thanks to the efforts of George Costakis. On the contrary, the exhibition reveals hitherto unknown aspects of the period to the general public, aspiring to become a landmark in the treatment, study, approach and promotion of MOMus’s Costakis collection.

The exact dates of the guided tours and parallel activities will be announced shortly.

During this year's Festival that will take place from Wednesday 21 June to Wednesday 19 July, 12 performances, including 6 major productions, will be held.

Program

June 28- 29, 21:15: An evening of poetry and music, Anna Mykoniou - Odysseus Elytis "With Greek light"

Two evenings of poetry and music, signed by Anna Mykoniou , dedicated to the Nobel Prize winning poet Odysseus Elytis .

Three subversive artists of the new generation, Thodoris Marantinis, Eurydiki and Myronas Stratis "jazz" with the New Thermi Saxophone Orchestra, conveying explosive vibes with their experimentation and creating a unique atmosphere. With an innovative repertoire, for the jazz scenes, where the best-known songs of the rock repertoire will be orchestrated for a big band in jazz and swing rhythms, presenting a heretical approach to their musical history. Favorite sounds of modern rock music will be reworked by Konstantinos Payatis for a band of 20 wind instruments, piano, drums and electric guitar, giving new freshness, but also illuminating musical points that we might not have noticed until now.

July 7, 21:15: “Kostas Matsigos, Guitar recital with 8 voices”

A magical evening where the virtuoso guitarist and teacher Kostas Matsigos will set up a repertoire that will include from artistic Greek sounds to well-known Argentine tango.

Kostas Matsigos, in his long artistic career, on a recording and concert level, has collaborated with great composers, lyricists, performers with the Symphony Orchestra of the Municipality of Thessaloniki as well as with the State Orchestra of Thessaloniki, in Greece and abroad. Great artists such as Stavros Kougioumtzis, Roland Dyens, George Dalaras, George Kazantzis, Nikos Papazoglou, Manolis Rasoulis, Antonis Kalogiannis, Vassilis Lekkas and others, have entrusted him with their songs, either as an arranger or as a guitar-bass and mandolin performer. He will share the stage with some of his closest associates and friends to perform their well-known songs together.

July 11-12, 21:15: “Maria Farandouri, 60 years of singing”

Maria Farantouri celebrates 60 years of stage presence at the iconic Heptapyrgion Fortress with a selection from her wide repertory. It was in 1963, at the Municipal Theatre of Peiraeus, that Mikis Theodorakis first heard her singing as a soloist -with the the choir of the Association of Friends of Greek Music- and decided that she would become his priestess and her voice would give life to his greatest works.

Soon, the interpreter of the great poets is associated with Manos Hadzidakis and the works he writes for her voice (The Age of Melissanthi, The Irrationals, Dark Mother, Amorgos), Manos Loizos (The Negro Songs), Eleni Karaindrou (The Great Vigil), Zülfü Livaneli, Lucio Dalla, Vangelis Papathanasiou, Lena Platonos and other composers, Greek and foreign. Maria Farantouri will sing songs from the above cycles and other albums.

July 18-19, 21:15: "Dimitris Zervoudakis – Blocked in Thessaloniki"

As part of the evening dedicated to Thessalonian Creators, this year the Eptapyrgio Festival honors the great composer and songwriter Dimitris Zervoudakis. Dimitris Zervoudakis signed several personal discographies: "A life in the same class" 1996, "Close your eyes and look" 1998, "Full moon country" 2001, "Low and high" 2006, "How to breathe" 2010, "The breath of the madman" 2020, endless participations in the works of other creators and has given us some of the most beloved artistic songs.

In the evening, the symphonic ensemble of strings Jovenata ensemble, (which is the ensemble in residence of the Municipal Conservatory of Pylaia-Hortiatis) and the folk music ensemble Prikipessa , as well as the Choirs "Mixed Choir of Thessaloniki" and "Choir of the Conservatory of Nikopolis" participate , apparently contradictory mosaics but which perfectly capture the special musical path of Dimitris Zervoudakis.

Thessaloniki, since its foundation in 315 BC., has always been a cosmopolitan center, a crossroad of people and cultures. And so is its gastronomy, a mixture of the traditions of all populations, that coexisted in the city, with the gastronomy of the Greek refugees from Asia Minor, who arrived in the city in the early 20th century.

Nowadays, Thessaloniki gathers of a multitude of cuisines from all over the world. A walk through the alleys of the city gives you countless possibilities and choices from Lebanese, Asian, Authentic Greek and Latin American cuisine.

Delicious street food options are made with passion and lots of love. Just because it' s street food doesn't necessarily mean it's sloppily made with no nutrients and loaded with calories. While walking down the streets of Thessaloniki you will be surprised to notice an abundance of delicious looking street food.

No visit to Thessaloniki is complete without trying bougatsa, the traditional cream-filled phyllo wrapped parcels sprinkled with icing sugar and cinnamon. In every corner of Thessaloniki, you will find “bougatsadika”- places that sell freshly made bougatsa- that usually work in the morning and serve delicious bougatsa.

Very few places make hand-stretched phyllo anymore, but Bantis does and it’s worth the trip a few blocks north of the center if you want to start your day just right with the best street food of Thessaloniki.

Nea Paralia, one of the most beautiful European landmarks, gives visitors the opportunity to enjoy desserts, cocktail drinks and fast food while combining dazzling views that soothe body and soul. Here you will find multi flavor ice cream, cotton candies, hot dogs and many more delicacies that will fill your stomach and mind with experiences.

There you can also find koulouri, the all-time favorite snack for Thessalonians. Whether you like it filled with raisins, multigrain, thin and crisp or chubby and chewy, be sure that you will find your favorite one from street vendors all over the promenade.

Greek pies, known as pites in Greek, is another option and perhaps the ultimate street food to kickstart your day throughout Greece, with many regional variations, both sweet and savory. You can get great pie anywhere in Greece, but especially in Thessaloniki, this particular street food comes directly from the people of Asia Minor who settled here in the 1920s and is known for its delicate yet tasty dough.

Souvlaki, gyros and tzatziki are of those words that immediately come to mind when you think about Greece, right? Thessaloniki is no exception when it comes to these delicacies!

Gyros is a dish made of meat, either pork or chicken, served wrapped in a pita or bread with French fries, tomatoes, onions and that delicious tzatziki sauce. Thessaloniki’s gyros are the most famous all-around Greece mainly because of the size and price. As you can imagine, our gyros are huge, cheap, but most importantly, delicious. On the other hand, souvlaki consisting of small pieces of meat, either pork or chicken is a “healthier” version of street food – or maybe not!

Besides the classics, the good thing about Thessaloniki is the fact that everyone can find options for their cravings, without excluding groups with special preferences. There are options that combine oriental cuisine with a veganism mentality. Demanding vegetarian trends in fast food genre can be found a few steps away from you in salads with lentils, chickpeas, quinoa, avocado, falafel salads that satisfy and satiate even the most difficult food enthusiasts.

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again, but only because it’s true: Thessaloniki is a marvelous city, and its street food definitely lives up to its name. There is an atmosphere that offers you a landscape in which you can gaze at the endless sea horizon while enjoying your food. Savor every bite!
