Where can you find places to party in Thessaloniki?

The answer is everywhere!

This city, mainly because of the university, has many students that are huge fans of the word '' party'', so there are numerous of options when you don't want to go home early. The most popular options for the students of this city is an area named ''Valaoritou''.

Valaoritou is a narrow street at the city center that is full of bars and clubs that are open from dusk till dawn and maybe later. To get there you can either walk from Kamara and it is pretty much 20 minutes by feet, or take whatever bus from Kamara and stop at the bus station ''Antigonidon''. Then, you cross the road and the crowd will help you understand where Valaoritou street is.

So, let's make a small map with the most famous bars/clubs of this area:

While you start walking down the street, you will see a bar on the right corner. The name of the bar is ''90 Moires''.It is the perfect place for a relaxing beer during the week, and in the weekend it is playing commercial american music.

Right next to ''90 Moires'' there is the ''Monkey Bar'' that plays only greek music, so if you are a foreigner i wouldn't suggest you go there, because you will get easily bored.

Next to ''Monkey'' there is a bar for the techno/house/minimal music lovers.It is called ''Rock'n'Rolla'', so if you are a fan of this kind of music you should definitely try this place.

On the corner, you will see a big building with open door and music coming from its floors. Go up the stairs and you will see a bar named ''Tokyo'' where you can also listen to electronic music. If you are in for something more relaxed and the weather is warm, ''climb ''until the roof of the building where you will find a bar named ''Taratsa'' and you can enjoy your beer while watching alternative movies that are played as in the cinema, on the wall.

After, on the raod that is located on your left, you will find the bar which is called ''stoa''. This bar usually plays latin music whith touches of drum'n'bass or jungle. It is very famous about the strange, delicious, and exotic decorated cocktails that it provides every day and especially the nights that ''stoa'' organises theme parties. Don't miss the days that there are special offers on cocktails! Moreover, you will be fascinated from the funky and exotic decoration of the bar that will travel you far away to exotic beaches!

The ''La Doze bar'' have two floors, on the first floor you can danse and you can drink listening diffrent types of music depending the day you will visit it. For example on Fridays usually plays funky music and on saturday latin and jungle!
