This is a neighbourhood with a pedigree, cosmopolitan in the truest sense. Thessaloniki’s many moods stylishly converge around the Roman Agora. This atmospheric, architecturally complex swath of town is diverse in all senses of the word, yet decidedly low-key.
Your balcony faces to one of the city’s favorite atmospheric corners, the Bit Bazaar. In a courtyard accessed from Tositsa Street and spread out along the street itself, the paliatzidika (“junk shops”) make for nice browsing. The antique black-and -white postcards on Tositsa near the bazaar entrance are a bargain at a euro apiece. Just around the block's other corner, you find yourself at the Roman Agora with its Odeon and Cryptoporticus, the hub of city life from the 2nd to the 4th centuries AD. Right in this area, somewhere between the Bey Hamam and the Roman Agora, stood Thessaloniki’s equivalent of the Caryatids, more commonly known by the Judeo-Spanish name of Las Incantadas (“the enchanted ones”), erected in the 2nd or 3rd c. AD.
Right next to our building's entrance, you can try a strong serving of tradition at Tsarouchas. The city’s oldest patsatzidiko, it specializes in the collagen-rich elixir of patsas, tripe-and-veal trotter soup, which is famous for keeping hangovers at bay. (There are also plenty of more conventional home-style dishes for the less adventurous.) By night, this corner of the neighborhood is full of students who flock to the many small, casual places to share wine by the carafe.

Τhe tiled domes on the roof of the 15th-century Bey Hamam make for a strange and beautiful setting for a morning coffee – all nostalgic among the pine trees. Just on the other side of Egnatia Street, with its thick traffic, lies contemporary Thessaloniki – elegant Aristotelous Square leading to the international shopping thoroughfare of Tsimiski Street, and then on to the waterfront and its mostly modern cafés.
