Thessaloniki

— Trajet —

6 h from Kotor · Thessaloniki Airport (SKG)

Thessaloniki is the beating heart of northern Greece — a Mediterranean port city with 2,300 years of continuous habitation, extraordinary Byzantine and Roman monuments, and a food culture (Modiano market, rooftop taverns, grilled octopus at the White Tower) that rivals Athens in quality and surpasses it in authenticity. The Byzantine Walls of Thessaloniki enclose one of the finest collections of Byzantine churches in the world; the White Tower on the waterfront is the city's icon. The Ladadika district is the dining and social hub; the Ano Poli upper town is a neighbourhood of Ottoman-era wooden houses. For guests touring the Balkans southward from Montenegro, Thessaloniki is the natural endpoint: six hours by chauffeur or one hour by private jet from Tivat.
