Daily life

Thessaloniki sits on the Thermaic Gulf and is Greece's second-largest city; it is known for the White Tower, the UNESCO-listed Rotunda and Hagios Demetrios church, Aristotelous Square, and the streets of Ano Poli (Upper Town). Daily planning moves between the waterfront promenade, the White Tower, a break at the square, and the climb to the Upper Town with its surviving Byzantine walls.

Transport

Thessaloniki's airport, Makedonia (in Thermi), sits about 13 km southeast of the centre and connects to downtown by bus. Line 1 of the Thessaloniki Metro, opened in November 2024, runs about 9.6 km across 13 stations but does not yet reach the airport. City transport also relies on an extensive OASTH bus network; there is no tram. The waterfront promenade is comfortably walkable. (Sources: Wikipedia, Wikivoyage)
