We choose to introduce the hosting city of Thessaloniki by its brand phrase: “many stories, one heart”

A compact human-scale city, influenced in its 3000 year of history by its focal point in the region and its waterfront location, is a vibrant city of multicultural identity both in the past (Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman) and the present, a youthful destination due to its academic community as an educational hub, and a unique city break often preferred for its food and entertainment culture, being ranked by National Geographic Travel in the top 10 Nightlife Cities.
