Question

What's the best way to get to Thessaloniki?

Question

What's transportation like in Thessaloniki?

Answer

Thessaloniki is a very walkable city, and many of the main sights, shops, and cafes are close together. Uber and Freenow are popular, reliable and inexpensive rideshare apps, as well as a variety of Taxi companies throughout the city. The local bus network and the new Thessaloniki subway system are reliable as well!

Yes, you must have a valid passport to travel to Greece. Please note, your passport must be valid for at least six months from the date of your departure. You can easily renew your passport now online!

Question

Will there be other events prior to or post-wedding?

Answer

Yes! We are currently planning some different activities and events for our guests. Please check back under our "Wedding Week Events" tab for more information as planning continues!

Question

How do I go about exchanging dollars for euro?

Answer

Greece's currency is the euro. You can order euro from your local bank a few weeks in advance, or use your debit card once you arrive in Thessaloniki at an ATM (small fee associated typically). You can also bring US dollars and convert them to euros when you arrive in Thessaloniki (typically a fee is incurred here as well). Most shops & restaurants will accept credit card so we suggest using a credit card that has no foreign transaction fees.
