We will have a wonderful celebratory meal in the afternoon. They take care of us very much, we have a perfect host“, an English tourist told ANT1.

A tourist from Canada, she said that Thessaloniki is “very beautiful. I really like it, I’m leaving tonight for Turkey and Spain. I walked in the ‘Umbrellas’, went to a night club, danced, met a lot of people” and replied that “it will come again 100%”.
The Chinese woman stated in Greek that, “it’s very nice and the weather is very nice today”while he also wished “happy birthday”.
But there were quite a few Greeks around the world who returned to their homeland to celebrate Christmas.
“We are seeing a lot of changes this year in the Christmas market, in the style of European cities, with houses, mulled wine, and there are many things for both children and adults. And the weather helps”said the Greek from Belgium, who wished a happy birthday through ANT1.
The festive Thessaloniki was “drowning” with people, with full cafes, but also taverns.
“We came to spend Christmas here for the first time. Lots of people, it’s nice, wonderful Thessaloniki as always! Not the first time, but it seems to me that the world is more now…“, said a Cypriot couple.
Ladadika these days have their honor. Tourists from abroad visit them to walk the picturesque alleys and try the local dishes in the taverns.
“Lately many foreigners come, besides the Greeks who are always in our shop, but tourists come and try our Greek dishes and our cuisine. They like it, they were very satisfied and they tell us that they will come again to spend the holidays here because the Greek holidays don’t compare to the ones abroad...”, says a worker in Ladadika.
Lilliputian travelers sent their best wishes to all.
