Property in Thessaloniki city centre
Thessaloniki’s centre — Aristotelous, Tsimiski, Agias Sofias, the Rotunda, Ladadika, Vardaris — is the liveliest market in the city: small and mid-sized apartments in 1960s–1980s buildings, renovated penthouses overlooking the Thermaic Gulf and more and more whole-floor renovations. Demand comes from students, professionals and investors for short- or long-term letting.
