Aretsou Marina, Thessaloniki

Sitting in the Kalamaria district, about 5 km from Thessaloniki's city center, this marina hugs the shores of the Thermaikos Gulf and gives you easy access to one of Greece's most vibrant urban waterfronts. It's a solid base for exploring the city — think Byzantine landmarks, a buzzing food scene, and the famous waterfront promenade all within reach. Sunsets here hit differently, with the gulf stretching out before you and the city lights flickering on as the evening rolls in.
