Spend seven nights discovering Thessaloniki in northern Greece, a city that combines a long seafront promenade with layered history and a strong food scene. With direct flights from Dublin, private transfers, a central boutique hotel and two included experiences, this itinerary offers a relaxed way to explore the city at your own pace.
Thessaloniki is easy to get to know on foot, which is what makes it work so well for a short break. The seafront promenade stretches past the White Tower and along the Thermaic Gulf, with cafés, bars and plenty of spots to stop for a drink as the sun goes down. From there, it’s a short walk into the historic centre, where Roman remains, Byzantine churches and local food markets sit close together, making it simple to see a lot of the city without constantly moving around.
Your base for the week is The Excelsior, a boutique hotel and member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World. Located near Aristotelous Square and the waterfront, it provides a convenient base for walking the city. You stay in a Classic Room with breakfast included, offering a comfortable and well positioned place to return to each evening.
One day is set aside for a guided trip to Vergina and Pella. You will visit the ancient Macedonian capital and the royal tombs at Vergina, offering a clear look at the region’s history beyond the city. It’s an easy full day out, with transport and guiding taken care of, so you do not need to organise your own travel.
Another highlight is a full day cruise to the Blue Lagoon in Halkidiki. Spend time on the water swimming in clear bays, relaxing on deck and enjoying lunch on board as you move between coastal locations. This day offers a contrast to city sightseeing and an easy way to experience northern Greece’s coastline.
Return flights from Dublin to Thessaloniki with Ryanair including 20kg checked luggage per passenger, private airport transfers, 7 nights at The Excelsior Thessaloniki (Small Luxury Hotels of the World) in a Classic Room with breakfast, full day guided tour to Vergina and Pella, and Halkidiki Blue Lagoon cruise with lunch.
