Thessaloniki is an outstanding town for all things cultural: large orchestras and string trios, drama and comedy, and performances by international and local favorites are all part of the scene. For current happenings or information about festivals in the city or area, check with your hotel.
The Megaron Moussikis Thessaloniki is a large venue that hosts ballet, opera, and other high-brow musical and cultural events. Graced by international and local orchestras (including the Municipal Orchestra of Thessaloniki), there are classical, folk, and jazz nights, as well as seminars and lectures. The passable Allegro restaurant has an astounding view that, on its own, makes it worthy of a visit.
