Renowned as Greece’s second-largest city and one of Europe’s oldest, Thessaloniki stands as a vibrant tapestry of diverse cultures and civilizations, promising a captivating travel experience.

With an exciting historical background, the city’s name pays homage to the sister of Alexander the Great, underscoring its significance as the principal city of Macedonia and the Paramount commercial port of northern Greece.

Thessaloniki’s allure lies in its dual identity, with the historic city center for sightseeing and cultural activities, while Ano Poli, the UNESCO declared heritage district to the north, offers a charming glimpse into the city’s rich past. The vibrating nightlife and entertainment scene further enriches the visitor experience.

The city’s historical prominence manifests itself in its array of monuments and archaeological wonders, each a testament to Thessaloniki’s pivotal role in shaping Byzantine art and architecture.

Moreover, Thessaloniki boasts impeccable infrastructure, featuring a plethora of hotels, exhibition/conference centers and venues equipped to accommodate events of varying scales.

From grand congresses to intimate meetings and conferences, the city offers a diverse range of options. Notably, hotel properties in the center and coast of the city are complemented by conference facilities and nearby archaeological sites, establishing Thessaloniki’s status as one of Greece’s foremost MICE destinations.

Located southeast of Thessaloniki, Chalkidiki Peninsula boasts three distinct smaller peninsulas: Kassandra, Sithonia and Athos. Renowned for its aquamarine waters, golden sandy beaches, traditional villages, captivating archaeological sites, uninhabited islands, sheltered bays, pine-clad hills cascading toward the sea, and vibrant nightlife, Chalkidiki offers a diverse range of attractions for visitors. It also emerges as a notable MICE destination. Here sprawling hotel properties with extensive meeting facilities coexist alongside boutique establishments ideal for incentive programs. For a truly memorable experience, consider embarking on a cruise near Mount Athos, a reversed site where Christian Orthodox monasteries have endured for over five centuries.
