It used to belong to a wealthy family, but now operates as an all-day bar. Here we’ll grab a craft beer and hear stories of how the beer tradition started in Greece (the very first Greek brewery was founded in Athens in 1840). During warmer days, we’ll enjoy our beer in the bar’s shaded garden, and on cooler days we’ll grab a seat indoors.
Here, your tour comes to an end, but you’re very welcome to stay and try a few more craft beers with your new friends. Before you go, don’t forget to ask your local guide for more hints and tips on how to get the best out of your trip to buzzing Thessaloniki.
