""Paulou Mela" in Thessaloniki, a former military camp tucked away from the city center, makes for a good spot to spend your day in the outdoors with..."

Paulou Mela, the former military camp, is a place of freedom, a little away from the city center. In this former military camp, there is a big number of warehouses, and old buildings, made for the soldiers. Nowadays, people of all ages, go there with their pets, or in order to play a game like football, or anything else. 

It is a free place, where also you can find a variety of graffiti. You can even go there for a picnic or with a coffee on the go.

In addition to all these, every year, various events take place here. Like music concerts for solidarity to refugees. Many of the social movements of Thessaloniki also use this place for various events.

I think that it's a good spot, for those who like nature, and who want to play a game outside, or play music with their friends. 

It is also the perfect place for pet owners, who want their pets to run in nature.

Castello – An epic caffe!

In front of the promenade of Thessaloniki, there are innumerable cafes. The presumable question that a visitor may have is: “Which one should I choose?”. I have the answer! Of course, “Castello”.
