Tip of the day – Christmas in Thessaloniki

• December 22, 2022

Thessaloniki is the second biggest city of Greece and it’s only 4h distance by train –be careful to choose the quickest train. If you haven’t visit the city yet, this is a great chance to do it and spend some days  there.

During Christmas period, close to the city center you can visit  Asterokosmos (Galaxy World), which is Greece’s largest Christmas theme park, which will be open from Thursday, December 11, to January 7 at the Thessaloniki International Exhibition Center, offering a complete experience of fun, fantasy, and festive magic for all ages!  In a space of over 40,000 square meters, with indoor and outdoor facilities in pavilions 13, 14, and 15 of the TIF, Asterokosmos is transformed into the most magical and fairy-tale Christmas Kingdom. Endless fun, creativity, and smiles, in comfort and safety regardless of weather conditions.

This year, Christmas becomes a fairy tale! The magic of Christmas escapes from the pages of fairy tales and descends upon the streets of Thessaloniki! The heart of the city is transformed into a magical gateway leading to a wonderful world. The central decoration, inspired by beloved stories that have marked our childhood, invites you on a journey full of imagination, filled with our favorite dreams.

Walk through our streets and feel the city come alive with elves hiding among bears and deer that greet you, mushrooms that light up the path, fairy-tale sweets and treats. At the heart of this magic, Santa Claus waits to share his smile and his wishes, creating a scene that is both vivid and dreamlike. Every detail has been designed to deceive reality and transport you to a kingdom where anything is possible.
