Ladadika

The most famous historic quarter of Thessaloniki, nestled in the triangle between the port and the city center. The name derives from the Greek word 'ladi' (oil) — in the 19th century this area was home to warehouses and shops selling olive oil and other provisions. Following redevelopment in the 1990s, the district became the gastronomic and nightlife heart of the city — cobblestone alleyways, colorful facades and pavements packed with tables of traditional tavernas, tsipouradika (where tsipouro is served with meze), grill bars and clubs. The go-to destination for an evening out, dining and discovering local gastronomy.
