To Oraion Ntepot Thessaloniki

Cooperative cafe

""To Oraion Ntepot" Thessaloniki is a fresh co-op cafe, great for enjoying a tsipouro, meze or cup of coffee in this charming area..."

In the east side of Thessaloniki, on Vafopoulou street, one of the most charming and interesting little streets of the city full of trees and vintage stores, there is a fresh cooperative cafe named To Oraion Ntepot. The name basically means 'The beautiful Depot' and refers to the name of the neighborhood. It is located just a few meters from Kronos.

To Oraion Ntepot started operating in 2015 and quickly became known as a very unique place to enjoy a cup of coffee or some tsipouro, accompanied with tasty meze dishes at a low price. In the summer time the highlight of To Oraion Ntepot is to be seated in the garden and relax in a green environment.

Moreover, To Oraion Ntepot is also a grocery store where you can find delicious products from around the country, also at a very low price. Frequently, the owners organise discussions, events, workshops and exhibitions! You can stay up to date via their Facebook page!

Due to the increasing popularity of Oraion Ntepot sometimes it's difficult to find an available table!

"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.

Massalia stin Thessaloniki

Gourmet meze

"Massalia stin Thessaloniki" quickly became the talk of the town in 2014 when it opened. Today, this restaurant systematically exceeds my expectations.

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”.
