The Climate

Thessaloniki’s climate is directly affected by the sea. The city lies in a transitional climatic zone, so its climate displays characteristics of several climates. May is when the sun truly starts to shine in Thessaloniki so if you are heading out, be sure to grab your sun creams. Daily high temperatures can go up to 24 degrees Celsius and with an average of 18 degrees every day all day is a great opportunity for fun under the sun!

Electra Palace Thessaloniki Majestic: this word is not an overstatement when it comes to the Electra Palace hotel in Thessaloniki. Built in one of the most impressive city squares of Greece, Aristotelous Sq., facing the endless sea of the Thermaikos Gulf, its architecture at once imposing and noble, it is one of the city’s architectural gems.

Inside the hotel’s byzantine-inspired exterior, hides a neoclassical heart: wood paneling, marble inlay and wooden floors, plush carpets,

cabriole and chesterfield sofas, ornate furniture, luxurious details, generous amenities and, of course, breathtaking views: on a clear day one can easily see as far as mount Olympus across the gulf. Beneath the Electra Palace Thessaloniki’s windows and balconies, lies the lively center of a vibrant city: Aristotelous Square. In between city square and mighty mountain, the expansive horizon, the endless blue of the sea.

revolutionary movements to the First World War. The Museum highlights the various political, cultural and social aspects of Macedonia and underlines the role of ordinary people.

Day 1 – Thursday, May 30th Royal tombs The museum is located in Vergina, 75km west of Thessaloniki and 12km away from Veria, the nearest city. The museum has a dark, imposing atmosphere that surprises most visitors.

Some of the most impressive and important exhibits from the Macedonian dominated period of the Greek history are available in the exact location that the original excavations took place.

The museum was built in 1993, 16 years after the discovery of the Royal tombs in “Aiges”.

It was built in order to create ideal conditions considering the humidity and temperature needed for the findings to be properly preserved and protected. Inside the museum there are four separate tombs and the “Heroon”, a small temple built for Phillip II of Macedonia.
