Thessaloniki is a great city, one of my favourite cities in the world, and 100000 times prettier than Athens !!!
Unlike the never-ending traffic jams, air pollution, terribly bad streets and ugly buildings in Athens, Thessaloniki has everything that I like: scenic setting on the coast, tree-lined boulevards which reminds me of spring in Paris, numerous beautiful squares with marvellous architecture in the city centre (very similar in terms of flaire to Turin, my favourite Italian city), elegant and chic open-air cafes, great shopping opportunities, picturesque buildings and very friendly inhabitants.
I stayed at Hotel Luxembourg, located right at the heart of Thessaloniki's upmarket shopping districts when I visited Thessaloniki in August. The hotel's exterior looks more French than Greek. There are many good cafes and restaurants nearby, you won't be running short of options.
