Your Expat Community in Thessaloniki

Founded over 2,000 years ago in 315 BC, Thessaloniki provides a wealth of historical landmarks, legends, and stories for newcomers to enjoy. Museums and galleries cover different eras in the city's history, while the Thessaloniki Concert Hall hosts opera performances and a number of theaters continue Greece's long dramatic traditions. Thessaloniki's main employment source is the services sector, including healthcare, education, trade, transportation, and communications. As a large free port, the city is a major transportation hub, carrying trade between neighboring countries, and tourism is also a growing industry with Mediterranean cruises making Thessaloniki one of their regular stops.

At our regular events for the whole community, expats have the chance to meet, network, socialize, and have fun together in Thessaloniki. We know it can be difficult to make new friends in an unfamiliar setting, so take the opportunity to meet our members in a laid-back environment; you are already invited to come along. Don't forget to also check out our InterNations Groups to find like-minded expats to share your interests with as you explore the city and make new friends. Our members hail from all over the world and you'll soon discover that you, too, are part of our friendly community of fascinating global minds.
