As Greece’s second-largest city, Thessaloniki offers a vibrant and festive Christmas atmosphere. Aristotelous Square, the city’s main square, is adorned with a massive Christmas tree, an illuminated boat (a Greek holiday symbol), and countless twinkling lights.

The city’s Christmas market features food stalls, handicrafts, and holiday music, while the streets are filled with the sounds of carolers singing traditional kalanda (Greek Christmas carols). Thessaloniki’s blend of Byzantine history and modern culture makes it a fascinating place to explore during the holiday season.
