                   THESSALONIKI  ENTERTAINMENT

Thessaloniki was famous for its cafes as early as the 17th century. Evliyia Tselepi mentions 20 drinking establishments and 17 "brilliant cafes, where musicians, singers, dwarfs, and tellers of ribald tales entertained the customers. They were also frequented by the love-sick, dandies, poets, travellers and literati, who whiled away the days and nights amusing themselves in good company."

Thessaloniki is famous for the traditional dishes, especially fishes and sea foods, cooked in a way that betrays oriental influences. The sidewalks are bustling with ouzeries, picturesque taverns in neighborhoods and in the old city. Aretsou and Nea Krini, seaside resort areas adjacent to the city are packed with seafood restaurants, lively bars and night clubs. Nightlife entertainment in Thessaloniki is also traditional where night revelers gather in sidewalk cafes, and bouzouki clubs near the Airport.
