Eightball Thessaloniki

Metalheads union

Martina from Thessaloniki

About me I grew up in Volos, a city by the sea in central Greece and moved to Thessaloniki to study Electrical and Computer Engineering. I obviously love travelling and I’m down for trying pretty much everything. Favorite things in the world include riding my bike, spending full days at the beach, concerts where I can sing my lungs out and the moment the plane lifts off. &...
""Eightball" Thessaloniki is the bar to be if you are a true metalhead & love gigs with lots of beer. I also love their Friday "Disco Nights"..."

Are you a true metalhead? Do you love gigs with lots of beer and mosh pits that leave bruises on you?

If yes, then Eightball is the place to be, either on Saturdays for the "Headbangers 8Ball" with lots of heavy, thrash, black, stoner metal from DJs or on days with bands playing live. On a night like that, I've witnessed a crazy, I'm guessing also drunk, dude stage diving into a not so full crowd and the result was him faceplanting and everybody getting weirdly excited.

Even though Eightball is a metal club, what it's quite known for is the amazing, not-to-be-missed Friday "Disco Night", with classic 80s and 90s songs that will have you dancing till the early morning hours. What I absolutely love on that night is the much expected sound of "Oops! I Did It Again" (by Britney Spears, for those who come from another planet) and yes that is what you'll listen to in that really underground club on a Friday night.

Wednesday is usually "Erasmus Night" or "Whatever Music Night", also pretty cool. Check out their webpage to find out about live gigs on other days and don't skip on the less known bands because they usually make your time and money worth it.

Extra tip: if you're in a band, you can contact Eightball and maybe you'll be able to arrange a gig. How cool would that be?

Thessaloniki Spotter Martina

About me I grew up in Volos, a city by the sea in central Greece and moved to Thessaloniki to study Electrical and Computer Engineering. I obviously love travelling and I’m down for trying pretty much everything. Favorite things in the world include riding my bike, spending full days at the beach, concerts where I can sing my lungs out and the moment the plane lifts off. Why Thessaloniki? Why not? Always full of life and events, it’s the ultimate student city in Greece. It’s small enough to be easily explored on foot or by bike and big enough ...

Catholic Church

A different taste of history

The current building was constructed in 1900 according to the design of the prominent Italian architect Vitaliano Poselli, who embellished our city with monuments of exceptional beauty.

Armenian Church

A fascinating cultural spot

It was constructed in 1903 and is dedicated to the Holy Mother of God (in Armenian: Sourp Asdvadzadzin). From an architectural point of view, Poselli chose the eclectic style, that is, to combine different traditions.

Ss. Constantine Elena Chapel

Gothic art!

What makes this church unique are the neo-gothic pointed arches and the luminous stained-glass windows, which depict Saints and biblical scenes.

Choux & profiterole

"Panagouda" church

A very personal spot

Particularly beautiful is the small dome with the depictions of Christ “Pantokrator” (Almighty) and the Apostles. And the neoclassical bell tower...

St. Catherine's church

Heaven on earth

The church itself is dated to ca. 1300. The masonry and arrangement of the exterior are some of the most beautiful in the entire city.

Nea Panagia church

Another post-Byzantine gem

The current edifice was built in 1727. On the same site, there had been a 12th-c. Byzantine monastery, also dedicated to the Virgin that burnt down around 1690.

"Sotirakis" chapel

A Byzantine pearl

Even a tiny church in Thessaloniki can be a pearl! One of the smallest (if not the smallest of all) is the “Sotirakis” chapel. “Sotirakis” means little Sotiris.

Church of Prophet Elijah

A Byzantine diamond

The building was perhaps built in the middle or in the second half of the 14th century. That period was characterized by unprecedented artistic flourishing in the city.
