My son and myself visited Athens last month and are thinking of going back for 4 nights at the end of October. We really loved it and would now be more confident in exploring a bit more, and also taking a day trip out to possibly Delphi/Nafplio ( there must be so much to choose from!). BUT! I have also been looking at Thessaloniki, and we could actually get a full week there for the same price as 4 nights in Athens.I have heard that the food in Thessaloniki is amongst the best in Greece, but we would not be interested in "" fine dining "", just good, honest Greek food and drink at reasonable prices. I would like to ask firstly if there are plenty of local tavernas /ouzeries and how do prices compare with the Island resorts? Should I rent a car from service like Thessaloniki Car Rental?
Finally, would there be enough to keep us occupied for a full week (my son is 18, and I`m a wrinkly so there would not be any clubbing involved !). Hahaha
Sorry if this post sounds a bit confused, but I`m! Would really appreciate any advice on what is quite a pleasant dilemma to have!
