    It is really good to speak and hear Hindi from time to time. With InterNations I got to know compatriots in Athens and Thessaloniki.

InterNations — A Community for American Expats in Thessaloniki

Hello to all Americans in Thessaloniki! Are you interested in getting to know fellow expats in Thessaloniki? Looking for advice from other Americans, e.g. wondering if there are any bars in Thessaloniki which will be showing your favorite baseball or American football team’s upcoming match or where to go in town for st■ turkey?

There’s no doubt about it: Thessaloniki has a laid-back yet vibrant atmosphere. The capital of the geographic region of Macedonia is a spirited city known for being a popular tourist destination but also for its festivals, events, and vibrant cultural life as well as for its delicious cuisine, and much more! With the available bus services, ferries, boats, and a very walkable city center, navigating your way around the city from one place to the next is simple. This also means that if you don’t want to live among the hustle and bustle of the center, you can enjoy a quieter life in the suburbs such as Kalamaria or Pylaia, for example, which are a 20 to 30-minute journey away from Thessaloniki’s center.

Although Thessaloniki has lots to offer, you might be wondering where and how you can meet other Americans in the city. Luckily, InterNations is here to make this easier for you! You’re warmly invited to join the InterNations community. Within our international network in Thessaloniki, there’s a vibrant circle of American expats from all regions of USA, including New York City, Los Angeles, and beyond.
