As a female solo traveler, I wholeheartedly recommend a stay in Olga‘s apartment. It is a very cozy room where you feel like at home. A big bonus is that you can see the Mount Olymp from your balcony! The apartment is decorated in a vintage style and has a lot of interesting elements.
Olga is the best host you could possibly have in Thessaloniki. As someone who was born in this town, she will give you the best honest advice on what is worth visiting. She definitely knows the best places in the town. We also had a lot of interesting conversations about the situation in Greece, which gave me a great insight about the country and made me feel like I’ve always lived there.
The public transport from her home is also very easy. There are many busses that will bring you to the centre in 15 minutes. The neighborhood is peaceful and calm and there’s lots of supermarkets, coffee shops and tavernas nearby. There’s also a direct bus to the Old Town.
Overall I had an amazing experience in Thessaloniki thanks to Olga and I cannot wait to come back soon!
