Shopping Center

Thessaloniki is a wonderful place, not only thanks to its natural beauty and the imposing landmarks. It is also a great place to shop and come up with amazing bargains. As you will come to realize, being at the crossroad of so many different cultures has influenced Thessaloniki and has transformed the city into a unique place for the ultimate shopping spree!

Starting off at Aristotelous Square, one of the most iconic streets for shopping is without a doubt Tsimiski Avenue. It has been named after Ioannis Tsimiskis, who had intertwined his name with the legendary war against the Bulgarians in the past. The avenue stretches for over a kilometer and includes a wide array of brands and stores for all tastes and budgets. This is where you will find Plateia shopping mall, maybe the most famous shopping mall in the city with cinemas and of course a lot of stores to choose from.

On the parallel Mitropoleos Avenue, there are also a lot of stores but at much higher price rates. You can come up with more exclusive items, however! And besides, this is home to some of the finest patisseries of the city. Agia Sofia Street is another stop, when you are looking for affordable luxury in shopping. You should not miss out on a visit to the picturesque Agia Sofia church, obviously. And then you can reach Egnatia Avenue, for even less expensive items sold at local boutiques and small shops nearby.

Among the most prestigious outlet malls in Thessaloniki, One Salonika and Mediterranean Cosmos stand out and offer wonderful opportunities in both shopping and entertainment. One Salonika is located on the western entry of Thessaloniki, within close proximity to the central railway station and just few kilometers from the city center. Mediterranean Cosmos, on the other hand, is found in the eastern part of the city and is advertised as the largest retail center in Southeastern Europe.

As you can see, there is immense variety when it comes to shopping in Thessaloniki. The city center holds the scepter as one of the top shopping destinations in Europe, combining quality with great price rates and exceptional diversity!
