BEFORE YOU GO
A well-planned trip.
Getting around
Kordelio and Evosmos are large districts in the western outskirts of Thessaloniki, connected to the city center mainly by urban buses. Before you travel, check routes and schedules on the official public transport channels, as frequencies and routes may vary. For getting around areas that are not well served or in the evening, taxis and rental cars are convenient alternatives. In the neighborhoods, walking is practical for reaching shops and venues, but distances can be greater than they seem.
When to go
Spring and early autumn are the most pleasant times, with mild temperatures ideal for exploring Thessaloniki and its neighborhoods. In summer, the heat can be intense, especially in the middle of the day, while winter is generally cooler and rainier. If you visit the area in the height of summer, plan your walks for the morning or after sunset.
Where to eat
In Evosmos and Kordelio you’ll find many tavernas, grills, and casual spots frequented by locals, perfect for trying souvlaki, gyros, and Greek dishes. Bakeries and pastry shops are handy for a quick breakfast or snack, while cafés bring life to the squares and shopping streets. For a more varied meal, you can reach central Thessaloniki by public transport.
Quick tips
- 01Check the bus schedules on the same day and allow extra time for possible waits.
- 02Bring comfortable shoes: the neighborhoods are large, and some hills or sidewalks can make the route less easy.
- 03In summer, bring water and sunscreen, especially if you plan to walk during the hottest hours.
- 04At the busier venues, especially in the evening and on weekends, booking ahead can be useful.
