About the Port

The Port of Thessaloniki is the second largest port in Greece and one of the most important commercial and passenger hubs in the Balkans. It has operated since antiquity — in Roman times the port was here, and the modern infrastructure began in the 19th century.

Beyond its commercial function, the port zone has become a major cultural destination. The old warehouses now host:

  • Thessaloniki Museum of Photography (Warehouse A): Greece’s only photography museum.
  • Cinema Museum (Warehouse A): History of Greek and international cinema.
  • Cinema Tonia Marketaki: Main festival cinema of the Thessaloniki International Film Festival.
  • MOMus Museum of Contemporary Art (Warehouse B1).

Passenger ships also dock here for Limnos, Lesvos, Chios and other island destinations (seasonal). The area is ideal for an evening walk — the view of the Thermaikos at sunset is magical.
