Thessaloniki for Two

21 December 2025

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 for Two

Thessaloniki

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.

Vergina and Pella Day Tour

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.

Halkidiki Blue Lagoon Cruise

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.
