Ancient harbour town: Apartments in Thessaloniki

In the historic port metropolis of Thessaloniki the traces of the former Roman rulers are present everywhere. Antique magnificent buildings such as the Galerius Arch, the imperial palace of Galerius or the old Byzantine city walls are today integrated into the modern Thessaloniki and you will encounter them on your city tour amidst business and residential quarters. But also the modern Thessaloniki presents itself lively and diverse; not without reason the city is regarded as the cultural centre of Greece. With a private holiday apartment in Thessaloniki, you can discover this pulsating metropolis in your own way, without having to forego comfort and privacy, as with couchsurfing in Thessaloniki. In the evening hours, countless traditional ouzerias and taverns await you in the former Jewish quarter of Ladadika, where you can fully enjoy the Greek way of life. North of the city centre you will also find accommodation in Stavroupoli, an important suburb of Thessaloniki, where the State Museum of Contemporary Art is located in the Lazarist Monastery. The Thessaloniki Biennale of Contemporary Art has been held here since 2007.

Private accommodation in Thessaloniki and the Aegean Sea

Thanks to its central location in northern Greece, Thessaloniki is a traffic junction with excellent rail connections to the east and west. You can reach Thessaloniki by land from both the Balkan states and Istanbul directly. The real charm of the city lies in its proximity to the vastness of the Greek Aegean. Use your apartment in Thessaloniki and discover the peninsula Chaldiki with the monk republic Athos or travel by ferry to your accommodation in Athens further. In contrast to the journey with the bus or rented car the regional ferry offers you the possibility of getting to know country and people on an unusual journey and to admire the Greek Aegean Sea from its most beautiful side. In Piraeus, the busy city harbour of Athens, there are also regular ferry connections to Rhodes, Crete and many other dream destinations in the Aegean. If you travel to the neighbouring country Turkey, you can reach your Apartment in Bodrum from the island of Kos by catamaran in less than half an hour.
