Welcome
The Prefect of Thessaloniki, hereby, takes the opportunity to welcome you to the celebrated prefecture of Thessaloniki and wants to wish you a pleasant and entertaining stay.Thessaloniki, our capital, is a city rich in history, a history that goes back to as many as 2320 years ago.
The Byzantine churches, one may see while touring our city, have been used as places of worship and Christian love for centuries. The Roman constructions, the Muslim buildings, spring up all over the city, all of them contributing to your getting well acquainted with its history, while at the same time the city’s modern architecture assets itself convincingly.
However, one will have a complete view of the city only after visiting the open country of the Prefecture, including its water biotopes, the beautiful beaches of Thermaikos and Strimonikos gulf, the hot water springs and the multiple interest events that take place in those areas.
Our aim in the following pages is to help you become familiar with both the sites and the events of our city and have you walk away with the best of memories.
