Thessaloniki is one of the few cities that can offer so much in so little time. If you’re looking for a destination that fits a short but fulfilling escape, a weekend in the heart of Macedonia combines culture, authentic flavors, and moments of calm — all within easy reach.
Beginning at staying in Heaven Hotelyou can enjoy the perfect balance between the city’s vibrant energy and your need for complete relaxation.
Friday evening: Check-in at heaven Hotel & enjoy a first ride
Whether you're arriving by plane — Heaven Hotel is just 10 minutes from “Makedonia” Airport — or by car, our space is designed to help you unwind instantly. A quiet, elegant room awaits, offering comfort and understated style. Check in, refresh, and step out for a stroll.
We recommend an afternoon walk along the waterfront, from the port to the White Tower. Especially in the golden light of sunset, this route draws you instantly into the city’s spirit.
For dinner, explore the flavors of modern Greek cuisine at a contemporary restaurant — try spots like Sebriko or Mavri Thalassa seafood restaurant.
Saturday in Thessaloniki: Culture & Entertainment
A day of exploration! Start with a visit to the Archaeological Museum or the MOMus Museum of Contemporary Art — depending on your mood. Both are vivid reflections of the city’s identity: one rooted in its past, the other in its present.
Follow it up with a coffee in the charming alleys of Ano Poli, where narrow streets and breathtaking views set the scene. Time flows differently up there.
The afternoon is your time to rest. Head back to Heaven Hotel for a relaxing shower, some music, or simply to lose yourself in the quiet of your room.
In the evening, the choice is yours: a stylish bar with cocktails along the Old Promenade, or something more romantic — a rooftop with views of the city lights.
Relaxing Sunday: Flavors & Time to Say Goodbye
Last day must be slow. Rest-relief.
Start with breakfast at the hotel, then enjoy a walk or a short escape to Kalamaria. A coffee by the water, a few quiet minutes, and one last taste of Thessaloniki’s laid-back spirit.
If there’s time, treat yourself to one last local dish — perhaps seafood with a glass of ouzo by the sea, or a laid-back brunch at a beloved urban spot like Estrella.
Weekend Escape in Thessaloniki
In Thessaloniki, weekends are more than just “quick getaways.” They’re a chance to rediscover your rhythm, to savor the little things as if they were everything, and to return to everyday life with a renewed energy.
Heaven Hotel is where it all begins — and the place you’ll find yourself wanting to return to.
