Driving Tips for Thessaloniki

A rental car in Thessaloniki provides the freedom to explore the city, as well as the surrounding regions. For the optimal experience, familiarize yourself with Greece’s unique driving features:

  • Road signs: Signs may be in Greek and Latin or English, so take some time to review the essential signs, such as “ΣΤΑΣΗ” (STOP).
  • Traffic: Thessaloniki is known for having dense traffic, so always be alert for pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, and your fellow vehicles when navigating the city roads.
  • Fuel up: Gas stations in Thessaloniki are generally self-service. If you're not confident, opt for SIXT’s prepaid fueling option, which means you can return the car with an empty tank.
  • Parking: Metered street parking can be challenging to find during Thessaloniki's busiest hours. Opt for paid parking lots or garages for the most streamlined parking experience.
  • Varying terrain: Thessaloniki has a mix of ancient and new roads, so be prepared for narrow streets, cobblestones, and curving mountain roads if you venture into the countryside.

Best places to visit in and around Thessaloniki

Greece is known as a cradle of ancient history set among picturesque landscapes, and with a car rental in Thessaloniki, you’ll be able to access the top sites:

  • Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki: Immerse yourself in ancient artifacts and ruins at northern Greece’s premiere museum, which offers three nearby parking lots.
  • Monument of Alexander the Great: This monument is a testament to Greece's historical depths, juxtaposed by seaside views. And there is an available free public parking lot within walking distance.
  • Mount Olympus: Known as one of the most iconic and historic sites of Greece, Mount Olympus makes a great day trip from Thessaloniki. The drive offers coastal and mountain vistas.
