Makedonia Palace

8/10 Good
"Rooms were large and well maintained. The pool area was small, but the pool itself nice and large. The gym was a decent size, but quite a low ceiling and as a tall person, it meant I couldn't use the treadmills as my head would have hit the ceiling. Breakfast was very nice. My only complaint is the stinginess around water and coffee. You got 4 Nespresso pods and one bottle of water. Any additional you had a note that would have been charged. For a 5* hotel this smarted a bit and felt more like a 3* style action."

"Very nice hotel and centrally located. Felt safe for two ladies traveling and we both very much enjoyed the breakfast they supplied. The room we stayed in was nice & big--had a main room with a king bed and then a second smaller room with a queen. All in all, this property was quite lovely! The only thing that was odd was not having a shower. There was a large, strong powered jacuzzi tub within the bathroom, but just a hand sprayer attached to it. I guess standing showers aren't super common in Greece, as this was the second property we stayed in that had this situation. Just a little different to have to sit down in a bathtub to spray yourself down and shower. I'd get better at it if I stayed longer for sure. Lovely property though and I do recommend!"

When is the best time to go to Thessaloniki?
The best time to visit Thessaloniki is during the shoulder seasons of spring (April to early June) and autumn (September to October).During these months, the weather is pleasantly warm, making it ideal for exploring the city's historical sites and enjoying outdoor dining. You'll find fewer crowds compared to the peak summer months, allowing for a more relaxed experience. The average temperatures range from 18-25°C, superb for sightseeing without the intense heat of July and August.Couples often find these seasons particularly appealing, as they can enjoy romantic strolls along the waterfront promenade or visit the White Tower without the rush. The outdoor cafes and tavernas are fully operational, offering a great opportunity to savour local cuisine in a comfortable setting.Families also benefit from visiting during the shoulder seasons. The milder temperatures are much more comfortable for children, and attractions like the Archaeological Museum and the Byzantine Walls are more enjoyable to explore without the summer heat or large crowds. Many public parks and squares are also pleasant for children to play in.While summer (July and August) is popular for those combining a city break with beach excursions, the high temperatures (often exceeding 30°C) and larger crowds can make sightseeing less comfortable.
