I recently visited the beautiful city of Thessaloniki in November 2024, enjoying unexpectedly warm weather with no rain. Though my trip was only for the weekend, I managed to visit the city’s most iconic landmarks, even though there was much more to explore. I also took a day trip to the stunning site of Meteora. Since I visited during the winter, my suggestions will focus on sightseeing and indoor activities, rather than summer-related experiences. In this guide you will find: - An interactive map with more than 30 places - What to do and which sites to see - Ideas for your accommodation and eating - Some recommendations for a trip to Meteora This guide is provided to you for free and I thank you in advance for any tip you would like to give me!
