The 'Baths of Paradise', a beautifully restored 15th-century Ottoman bathhouse hidden just off Venizelou Street.
Thessaloniki's Jewish Museum

Day trips from Thessaloniki

Halkidiki Peninsula
1 to 1.5 hours by car or KTEL bus
Explore the stunning three-pronged peninsula famous for its crystal-clear waters and golden beaches. Each 'finger' has a different character: Kassandra for nightlife, Sithonia for pristine nature, and Athos for monastic seclusion.
