For those who visit Thessaloniki for the first time, the experience is
a lot of fun. The city is relatively small and people are always
willing to help, so finding the right shops and souvenirs is never a
nightmare.
The products I would suggest a visitor of this city should look for are the following:
- Syrup sweets: These include baklava, kataifi, kourkoubinia
and many more. They originaly come from eastern countries but have
managed to become a popular treat in the city - Trigona Panoramatos: To find the best, visitors are advised to find the famous sweet shops Terkenlis and Agapitos
- Ouzo: A very famous greek time that mainly is enjoyed in summer in the islands
- Tsoureki from Terkenlis:
If on the other hand what you are interested in is a look around town at non-touristy shops your best options are:
- Tsimiski street: the popular Thessaloikian high street where all popular brands are available from clothes to jewellry.
- Navarinou street where there are cute stores for lovely gifts to loved ones.
