Food wise :
- Mpougatsa Giannis ( best Mpougatsa in the city )
- Evora ( great steak house)
- Elenidis ( Trigona Panoramatos )
-Terkenlis ( for their well known tsoureki )
- Giok Mpalik ( both for gyros but also traditional Greek recipes )
-Tarantino ( arguably the best burger )
- Pizza Poselli ( great authentic pizza)
- Upsilon ( for coffee / brunch or cocktails)
-Choureal ( profiteroles)
- Gorillas ( cocktails)
i would add (my personal favorites) Psitopoleio Takis for the best traditional befteki, and Mpakalarakia sto Limani for the best deep fried battered cod.
Tourist wise
Thessaloniki is my favorite mainland Greek city (next to Larisa, my adopted hometown❤). In fact, the whole region (Thessaly) is! Much better food and much nicer folks.
Same here! 🇬🇷

Thessaloniki (sister of Alexander The Great named by Philippos B' = Thessalo + Niki . Thessalo is the part of the word Thessalia area in Greece , Niki is Hellenic word translated to English word Win. After the Philippos B' won the battle against Union of Thessalia named he's daughter Thessaloniki . The area used as port and on East side now days Thermi there was springs of thermal waters. The city build by King Kassandros at 316 B.C he was the husband of Thessaloniki. The 90% ruins of the city is Roman and Byzantine empire the 8% is older remaining of the first city the 2% is other and ottoman empire.
what places do you recommend visiting for 1 day while cruising? thanks
I'm an American Greek ,this young lady knows her history , great presentation for the history buff ,come to a highly tourist spot in any country and you need to open the wallet as well ,thanks for accurate assessing, I learned much from you ,good luck and 🍷to your health and wellness. Oh not giving you a fork is a big mistake on his part but your nice to not throw him under a bus ,don't judge me for saying that, but it's not intentional.
From the moment she doesnt know how to pronounce Byzantine and what it is … i doubt she does… in fact i was shocked.
But I hope you enjoyed your stay, great video.
Exellent job
You are Amazing💞
Hi and Hello !! A new subscriber from INDIA.Happy Christmas Holidays
Omg 😳😳😳 you are coming in my town? Is my honor
Καλό ταξίδι
As a parttime resident of Upper Town, I would say: pretty adequate! But I would recommend restaurant Rediviva instead.
Tsouknidopitta is delicious in Rediviva,baked cheekpeas with eggplant in sauce too!
good that you mentioned that dogs..and cats are all around...I am planining to go with my dog...so...on the leash she will have to remain :P
Tesla-niki 🤣🤣🤣🤣
There where 4-5 incorrect details and there are so many more bars-restaurants - bakeries and cafe's to recommend but overall it was a good video!
*The great thing about Thessaloniki (named after the sister of Alexander the Great) is the vibe, so the lack of real time audio is something to consider!
Thanks for the feedback! ☺️
For example...? Thanks! :)
The mast on white tower was stolen from a Turkish war ship that used to torture Greeks inside... so now that flag pole is actually that mast from the ship...
I Like The Pictures Behind you of my beatiful country 🇲🇦❤️
hi
wanna tell u that im big fan and i love so much and my dream is meating and talke to u one day ❤️❤️❤️
Food for though: The Byzantines did not call themselves as such. They referred to themselves as Roman, and were every bit the same Empire as the their ancestors.
Well different culture, religion and language... so not at all. They were roman greeks.
@@Alexander-bj6vj Semantics is fun
@@Alexander-bj6vj "Well different culture" Yea...Greek and Roman cultures are sooo different...That's why they didn't call it the Greco-Roman world I guess..
Its Alexander II of Macedons
You are incorrect in thinking that the greeks took their food from the ottomans. Actually a lot of these dishes are from byzantine times. And some of them are from ottoman greeks and not turks.
Question: did you ask the waiter for a fork? Maybe he forgot? Just sayin..
Theh sah low knee key...say it with me bebeyyy
Thank you. Your boyfriend is a vefy lucky guy!
It is not pronounced “TESS-aloniki”. The Th should be pronounced as a soft ‘th’ not a ‘t’
Thanks for letting me know, will bear this in mind!! 😁 🇬🇷
@@girlvsglobe or you can simply say SALONIKA (sa-LO-nika)😀
Your pronunciation corrections are not valid as long as your name is “who wet the bed”
Hi friend how r you
Thessaloniki,this name of the sister Alexander the Great.
Pites tis polis ....you are hungry or not, doesn't matter...if you go there be sure ,you wil eat its...
The Greek region IS Makedonia. The state north of Greece is CALLED (northern) Makedonia. Know the difference. That fake state (MKD) has nothing to do with king Philip II, king Alexander III and the ancient and present Makedonians. The kings spoke ancient greek. There is not a ”makedonian” launguage. You can only be a Makedonian if you are Greek. The unfortunate people who live in that fake named state are slavic. They inhabited the area where that fake state is about 1000 years after Philip and Alexander time. This slavic people speek a bulgarian dialekt. They not even need an interpretor when the fake ”makedonians” and bulgarians meet. The borders of the ancient kingdom of Makedonia is about the same as todays the greek region of Makedonia is. Please be more respectful about the past and present of the city and the region.
Hi Sabina, I am a medical doctor hailing from Bangladesh, a country within Indian Subcontinent. I am coming to UK to join NHS, I need to meet with you... How can I get in touch with you?
The Ottoman empire was so powerful
Solun is Macedonia.
Macedonia is Macedonia. Solun is a Slavic corruption of Saloniki.
Stopped watching after the first “Thessaloniki.”😂
yup
it's pronounced THESSaloniki not TESSaloniki
Thank you, noted! ☺️
@@girlvsglobe hands off to you for getting away from the places usually covered in travel videos about Thessaloniki.
im so sorry but your pronunciations are so bad, i know you are trying but please next time double check with a fellow greek we will gladly help you
Macedonia is Greece 🇬🇷
Solun,as Macedonians from Republic of Macedonia call it.
Can't find that name in any history book weird isn't it😉
Macedonia is Greece only. The fake Communist Tito creation of BULGARIAN SPEAKING SLAVS of Vardarska has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH MACEDONIA.
STOP YOUR ONGOING VIOLATION OF HISTORICAL INTEGRITY.
MACEDONIA IS HELLENIC FOR OVER 2500 YEARS
Learn to pronounce Thessaloniki....T H E S S
Actually now I just watched the whole video and it was very disappointing. Thessaloniki has been a greek city since 3000 years and yet you mostly spoke about its ottoman past. Very strange. And the food you spoke of was mostly turkish and not greek. Next time you should try and enjoy the greek city as it is and not its oppressive past!
