The world famous Greek hospitality is manifested here in flesh and bone -in the big, bright smiles of professionals and in the modern hospitality infrastructure. It makes no difference which congress hall, stylish warehouse, museum, concert hall, university auditorium or hotel you choose to host your congress, convention, conference, trade show, exhibition, incentive event, corporate meeting or farewell party -Thessaloniki will always find the way to turn it into pleasure.
Staff everywhere is skillful and eager to help. Service providers -from caterers to audiovisual experts to guides, drivers and concierges- are quality driven and experienced. People everywhere are good natured, carefree and warm; they will make you feel more like an old friend than a client -a tip on where to spend the evening, a funny story, a heartfelt wish over a glass of tsipouro... this is our way of life here and this is probably why the city's motto is "many stories, one heart".
Thessaloniki can host any type of event. From a 5000 strong congress to a 20 person seminar, from a product launch to an incentive trip, from a conference to a corporate meeting, from a party to a concert, Thessaloniki is the appropriate setting for any occasion.
