Thessaloniki, the ‘Nymph of the Thermaic Gulf’, is a place where history meets vibrant daily life and tradition harmonizes with the modern urban rhythm. As a crossroads of cultures for centuries, the city is the ideal destination for organizing an International Folklore Festival.
With the iconic White Tower dominating its waterfront, Thessaloniki offers a unique atmosphere, enriched by its numerous monuments, which have been designated World Heritage Sites of UNESCO.
