Student housing in Thessaloniki
Thessaloniki is the largest university city in Greece (Aristotle University, University of Macedonia, International Hellenic University, private colleges) and demand for student housing peaks from late August to October. Here you will find studios and small apartments up to 75 m² for rent: the city centre, Triandria, Ippokratio and Charilaou for a walk or one bus ride to the two big universities, Faliro and Toumba for a quieter street, Kalamaria, Pylaia and Thermi for the International Hellenic University and the colleges.

2Student housing in Thessaloniki: what to know
What to check: landlords ask for a Greek tax number (the student’s or a parent’s), an ID and usually one month’s rent as deposit. The lease is registered electronically with the tax authority and is required for the student housing allowance. Ask whether building charges and heating are included, whether the home is furnished and what the minimum term is. Every ReWize listing belongs to one specific agent of the network who answers your request.
Frequently asked questions
When should I start looking for student housing?
The widest choice is from mid-July to late August. In September the good homes go within days and prices rise.
Do I need a guarantor?
Many owners want the lease in the name of a parent or guarantor when the student has no income of their own. Agree this before signing, together with the deposit amount.
What about the student housing allowance?
The allowance has income criteria and requires an electronic lease in the name of the student or a parent, in a city other than the family’s main residence. The exact terms are announced every year by the Ministry of Education.
