Advantages: cheap, central Disadvantages: dirty, unpleasant
Kastoria in northern Greece is a fantastic place to visit for a weekend; the small town hangs of the mountains over a picturesque lake. Alas its name-sake in Thessaloniki has nothing in common. It is a grotty hotel smack-bang in the centre of Thessalonica.
I arrived in Thessaloniki at shortly midnight after a rather long journey; with just ?100 in my pocket (most of that destined to be eaten by Taxis) I needed somewhere cheap and central. The taxi took me to road the Hotel Kastoria was on, and told me I had two choices from here. Kastoria and somewhere else. As I had visited the town of Kastoria a few times before, so I held up hope for the Hotel Kastoria, and staggered across the road.
After my long trip it is not surprising I fell sleep almost straight away only to wake up itching an hour later. Ditching the bedding, and using ...
Advantages: A lot of sightseeings, 260 splendid rooms Disadvantages: None
In front of the sea in the most beautiful point of Thessaloníki you will find the hotel. It allocates 260 splendid rooms, most from them with amazing view on the Thermaikos gulf. It hardly abstains 2 minutes from the center of city. Also it is found very near to the HELEXPO exhibition center . You can enjoy the splendid food and all the sightseeings of Thessaloníki. You will calm down with a walk in the beach, you will admire the palace of music, you will have a boating with boats in Thermaikos gulf , you will drink coffee in the knownest cafeterias of coastal, you will eat maize from the wandering salesmen. Enjoy also the genuine Greek skewer and the cream-filed pastry (kind of pie with cheese, sweet custard or meat). Try genuine trigona panoramatos and go to the "Athonos Park" with the traditional restaurants where you can eat ...
Advantages: Shopping, castle-top cafe, amazing scenes at Mt Olympus Disadvantages: Cross the roads with care! (Wow! I'm glad I don't have to drive there!)
Olympus
If you love mountains and mountainous scenery in general, then Mt Olympus won’t disappoint you. I saw plenty of wildlife there, such as frogs, birds of prey, and small lizards peeping out shyly from behind wooden bridges. I encountered some amazingly deep valleys clustered with green trees. (Although people who don’t like heights may not appreciate this so much). We also came across several waterfalls and streams. The people were very friendly and we were greeted in Greek many times by other visitors on the mountain.
As evening approached, we found that most of the camp sites were full and we didn’t get the one of our choice. We had to try quite a few before finding one that had space for us.
Accommodation
I stayed with a friend in Thessaloniki, so I’m afraid I can’t comment on hotel prices ...
