Thessaloníki

Thessaloníki port stands apart from other cruise points by blending a bustling, walkable waterfront with a city that wears its history proudly on its sleeve. As ships slide into its modern terminals, guests enjoy swift, well-organized embarkation and disembarkation, then step straight into a city where the White Tower rises over a lively harbor, Ladadika's tavernas hum with conversation, and avenues brim with coffee, markets, and Byzantine echoes. Signature experiences include sunset strolls along the promenade, a tasting of bougatsa and local meze, and a visit to the historic Ano Poli and its spectacular city views, all within easy reach of the quay. The port also opens access to northern Greece's treasures with curated excursions to Halkidiki's beaches and coastal villages, or day trips toward Mount Olympus and ancient Macedonian sites, making it more than a stop by the sea. Fleet features at the port emphasize smooth, predictable calls: two modern cruise terminals, clear wayfinding, and efficient passenger handling that keeps turnaround times tight. Onshore services mirror shipboard comfort: lounges with WiFi and charging stations, multilingual staff, excursion desks aligned to itineraries, and options for pre- and post-cruise extensions so every guest leaves with a full, authentic Thessaloníki experience.
