Thessaloniki has always lived with the sea. From the day it was founded it worked as a major port, and even today the city’s best-known monuments sit right on the waterline.

Thessaloniki
Thessaloniki (Salonica), Greece’s vibrant second city, sits on the calm, well-protected Thermaic Gulf—an ideal playground for relaxed coastal sailing with big-city views. Each autumn through spring, when the Aegean can be livelier, we reposition one of our Halkidiki sailboats to Thessaloniki to offer short, comfortable day-sailing experiences right from the city waterfront.
This is sailing designed for locals, visitors, and business travelers who want the sea without leaving town: a smooth departure from the harbor, a sail along the famous seafront promenade, and a unique perspective of landmarks like the White Tower and the city skyline. Depending on wind and sea state, we hoist sail for a quiet, authentic feel, or use auxiliary power when conditions call for it—always prioritizing safety, comfort, and timing.
Our skippers know the gulf, the local weather patterns, and the best route for the day. Expect a professional briefing, attentive service onboard, and a flexible plan that matches your schedule—perfect for a 2-hour harbor and waterfront tour, photos, and a memorable taste of Thessaloniki from the water.
