A metropolis designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in1988, also named cultural capital of Europe in 1997, Thessaloniki offers large avenues, neoclassical and art deco buildings, traditional markets, museums, and is ready to host visitors wishing to explore the culinary and fun-loving spirit of modern Greece.
As the second largest port in Greece it has played a key role in the transportation of goods and people over two millenia. Before the First World War the city was a model of peaceful coexistence among Orthodox Greeks, Sephardic Jews, and Ottoman Muslims and because of this it holds historic interest from all three communities worldwide.
Within a short distance from the building visitors will find sites of historical interest, exceptional restaurants, and nightlife.
