This premier musical event for the city of Thessaloniki is organized every two years by the Friends of the Thessaloniki State Orchestra Association, in collaboration with the Orchestra and the Thessaloniki Concert Hall.
Easter is certainly for the Orthodox the largest and most moving religious feast, one of the strongest moments of the year for the faithful.
Thessalonians spend lot of time at the liturgy in the church, follow the Holy Week rites in commemoration of the Passion of Christ and celebrate His Resurrection on Easter Sunday.
The arcades of Thessaloniki are the hidden and charming corners of the city that keep it alive. They usually house cafes, bars or markets. These closed markets are in many cases a result of the Turkish occupation, as they are a common phenomenon in Turkey.
In Thessaloniki, in these closed markets, the merchants sold their wares, often similar, while they were often guild hangouts. For this reason some of these galleries, even today, are known for specific items of sale, such as sewing, buttons, food. Many arcades hosted night entertainment businesses, others declined especially in the first years of the crisis, but it seems that with time they are slowly recovering. We will take a walk through the arcades of the center with guides Despina, Palasis, Paraskevi, Chrysa, Valia, Evangelia, Evi and Stavroula.
A program of celebratory events with particular splendor and solemnity await Thessaloniki residents and visitors who will be in the city, during the four days from October 25 to 28, in view of the national anniversaries of October 26, 1912 and October 28, 1940.
In detail, the celebration program includes:
The 80s and 90s left an indelible mark on pop culture, and in Thessaloniki some nostalgics of those decades found a way to keep their spirit alive. From pinball shops and arcades to vintage clothes and traditional sweets, the city is home to authentic corners that revive the charm of those times.
The two-year strategic plan and action plan for the tourism development of Thessaloniki was presented on Wednesday, October 9 by the Mayor of Thessaloniki and President of the Thessaloniki Tourism Organization, Mr. Stelios Angeloudis, in the presence of the Deputy Minister of Tourism, Mrs. Elena Rapti, the representative of Democratic Patriotic Movement "Niki" Mr. Dimitrioς Giouzelis, and representatives of the sector.
