Hotels in Thessaloniki Greece


 Hotels in Thessaloniki Greece


Thessaloniki is one of the best cities that you could visit in Greece. Once you enter the city, you will be greeted by their famous landmark, the White Tower of Thessaloniki. Built in 15th century, this tower was used by the Ottomans as a prison area until the end of the 18th century. Inside the building, you will find the Thessaloniki Archaeological Museum where there are exhibits that relate to the Ottoman occupation. The city’s deep love for theater is made evident in the Thessaloniki Museum of Cinema. The city is also known for its religious structures, the most popular being the Church of Aghios Demetrios which was built in the 5th century to honor the Patron Saint of Thessaloniki. Another church of great interest is the beautiful 16th century Church of Saint George. As for festivals, the people of the city celebrates the Thessaloniki International Film Festival every 3rd week of November. If you only have a weekend, Thessaloniki can’t be totally explored in that time. However, with the right travel packages with Thessaloniki hotels, you can possibly see as much of the city as possible. Such packages usually include air travel, guided tours and discount hotels. Thessaloniki draws many tourists during summer, and to ensure that you will get the hotels in Thessaloniki that you want, you should try to book in advance.
