A beautiful apartment in the heart of Thessaloniki. For this price, you get everything you need to survive in the busy city centre. The open interior, alongside the airconditioning, makes for a great place to fall back to after a long day of adventure in or outside the city.
Everything you need can be found at walking distance: Supermarkets, restaurants, cafes, shops, and plenty of ancient buildings to visit during an improvised sightseeing session. The (local) food is often great, serving staff is very friendly and there are plenty of bars to end the night with a nice cocktail (we would recommend the Candybar if you are looking for cheap, but delicious cocktails).
While the sea is very close, it is no beach, so if you want to swim you will need to travel, e.g. by bus (very cheap) or taxi (relatively cheap, but more expensive than the bus of course). For example, we took a tourbus trip to the natural hot springs of Pozar, which made for a relaxing day outside of the business of the city.
Also, if you want to visit beaches, you can take the water taxi. With a travel time of 50-60 minutes, this boat brings you to the beautiful beaches of Nei Epivates & Perea for only €5. We used it to travel to our new temporary destination after our stay in the cozy apartment of Despina.
Despina is a great host! We had some trouble with the hot water supply, which often seemed to not be available from our apartment, and Despina was available most of the time to try and help us fix the issue. She showed that she cared, and she was eventually able to help bring the hot water back.
I would definitely recommend booking your stay here if you are looking for an active good time in Greece. There is plenty to do, drink and eat!
