Nightlife in Thessaloniki

 If there's one city in Greece that has become a synonym of  "nightlife", that definitely is Thessaloniki. Each neighborhood in the city is just as mesmerizing and has its own charm. You can find everything you could imagine, from traditional tavernas to stylish bars, there's something for everyone!

Ladadika

Ladadika is definitely one of the most popular neighborhoods in Thessaloniki. It's name came from the many olive oil shops of the area. In the 1980s, the area was pedestrianized and many buildings were renovated; warehouses were transformed into taverns, bistros, beer and wine bars and even clubs, making Ladadika one of the most upscale neighborhoods of Thessaloniki. 

An extra tip: for even more beautiful wine bars and restaurants, take a walk around Emporio Square (above Tsimiski street).

Bit Bazaar

Here's another little treasure you shouldn't miss! Bit Bazaar is a tiny area that used to be inhabited by refugees from Asia Minor. It's hidden between Olympou Venizelou and Tositsa streets. The area is full of cafes, taverns and alternative music bars and you can also find some vintage and antique stores. The area today is a favorite hangout for students. If you can't find it, just ask! 



Valaoritou Street

Another area which is part of Thessaloniki's nighlife is Valaoritou Street. Here you will find many bars, each with its own style of music and decoration and buildings of architecture that reflects the old, aristocratic Thessaloniki.

Dimitrios’ relics occupy a silver reliquary inside. The Ottomans made Agios Dimitrios a mosque, and plastered over frescoes that were again revealed after the 1913 Greek reconquest. While the city's devastating fire of 1917 was very damaging, five 8th-century mosaics survive, spanning the altar. History The first church on the spot was constructed in the early 4th century AD, replacing a   Roman bath. A century later, a prefect named Leontios replaced the small   oratory   with a larger, three-aisled   basilica. Repeatedly gutted by fires, the church eventually was reconstructed as a five-aisled basilica in 629–634. This was the surviving form of the church much as it is today. The most i...
