Drenia Islands Vacations from $652

This is a very nice hotel, set in the port area but walkable to the city centre. Alternatively there is a free shuttle to the city centre several times a day (with free returns too). The room was really stylish and modern, with dressing gowns and slippers for each guest. The pool on the roof was really nice. Not heated but that was fine in the Grecian sun! The breakfast was really nice and there were plenty of options. The drinks in the roof or lobby bar are really expensive, but otherwise it’s a nice place to hang out. It could be improved by having chairs on the balcony.

This a fabulous property centrally located by the Aristotle Square and 1 block from the waterfront. Great cafes and restaurants. Short walk to the Hop On Off Bus, which is a cheap option to get your bearings in the city. The hotel is luxurious and each night we got chocolate and a bedtime story card. Xenophon and Elizabeth on the front desk were excellent. The breakfast was great and you can order from the kitchen if you don’t see something in the buffet. This is a Hilton Honors Small Luxury Hotel but if you book with Expedia you can’t use or get points — FYI. This is a great hotel and I can’t recommend it enough for staying in Thessaloniki.
