This is the third time that Thessaloniki has become a film location. For two months now, the film The Bricklayer starring Aaron Eckhart has been shooting here. The first filming took place in the city centre, in Emporio Square, in Ano Ladadika, whose picturesque pedestrian streets are lined with a number of quaint restaurants, café-bars, taverns, shops selling traditional products, delicatessens, etc.

And if you stumble upon Bricklayer, that is Aaron Eckhart, who is joined by Nina Dobrev, and directed by Renny Harlin, don’t be surprised. And so, Thessaloniki and… action!

Thessaloniki is, however, also a city that is racing to adopt the new green development criteria, at a time when tourism and climate change require sustainable practices and a reduction of the city’ s ecological footprint.

More than ever before, the awakening of the businesses’ “green” consciousness, especially in the hospitality sector, is a hot topic. A growing proportion of travellers are choosing destinations and accommodation that implement sustainability practices. Customers are willing to change their habits and Hyatt Regency Thessaloniki is well aware of this.

With its impressive gardens that extend over an area of 11 hectares, Hyatt Regency Thessaloniki has received Travelife Gold certification, one of the most demanding and sought-after sustainability and social responsibility certificates in the international hotel market. The internationally recognised sustainability certification scheme, which is aimed at hotels and other tourism businesses based on their environmental, social and economic footprint, is awarded if they are shown to meet a series of strict criteria (over 160) at all levels of operation.

And this sustainability certification came after a comprehensive on-site audit of its infrastructure and facilities, during which it was found to have achieved high standards of environmental management, social responsibility and corporate governance.

For example, all light bulbs in the rooms have been replaced with LED ones, saving energy, while 60% of the light bulbs in the common areas have also been replaced. In addition, natural gas is used for heating, hot water and steam. In the meeting rooms, plastic water bottles have been replaced with glass ones, while half-full water bottles are emptied into a large container and used to water the plants.

Moreover, plastic mini toiletry bottles have been replaced by larger glass ones, while plastic entrance cards have been replaced by biodegradable ones. The same has happened with straws and drink stirrers. Ultimately, plastic cups have been replaced by paper cups and of course materials such as paper, glass, metal, light bulbs, electrical appliances, etc. are recycled.

Hyatt Regency Thessaloniki’s environmental consciousness also includes reducing food waste by making donations to vulnerable groups, supporting local producers and using seasonal local products in restaurant menus, donating old furniture to non-governmental organizations and bed linens to hospitals, etc.

Regency Casino Thessaloniki

12th km Thessaloniki – Airport highway, +30 2310 491234

As one of the largest and safest casinos in Europe, Regency Casino Thessaloniki is always full of surprises. Recently, Regency Casino Thessaloniki decided to surprise its guests with yet another new feature by fitting its walls with a contemporary art form from Scandinavia, Moss Art, a powerful mood enhancer. The “living walls” can be found in the revamped outdoor gaming areas of Regency Casino Thessaloniki.

At the same time, during April Regency Casino Thessaloniki’s restaurant La Terrasse (+30 2310-491234) offers a sophisticated Cretan menu. Dedicated to traditional Cretan gastronomy, it offers the opportunity to enjoy delicious dishes, including unlimited re-fills. Try hot and cold Cretan salads, sioufihta (fresh Cretan pasta) with vegetables and tomato sauce, traditional marathopita (fennel pie), omelette with fresh cream butter and apaki (smoked pork), kalitsounia (Cretan cheese pies) with feta cheese and aromatic herbs, cuttlefish with fennel and green olives, Cretan lamb shank with feta cheese and rosemary, meatballs with leek and of course the famous gamopilafo (wedding pilaf).

Vergina Theatro

12th km Thessaloniki – Airport highway, +30 2310 491291

March bids us farewell with the last performances of Glykeria at Vergina Theatro next to Regency Casino Thessaloniki, tonight Thursday 24, Friday 25 and Saturday 26 March, starting at 22:00.

Yet once again, throughout April Vergina Theatro some very special performances. The Tsahouridis brothers present a unique musical ensemble that highlights the Pontian lyre, traditional folk music and the unlimited possibilities of both in an explosive musical performance featuring elements of Greek, cinematic, national and classical music.

Every Friday and Saturday, from April 1st, for limited time only, enjoy the unique voice of Konstantinos and the virtuosity of Matthew, who, accompanied by an orchestra of 10 excellent musicians and the great voice of Maria Karandrea, will take you on a musical journey.

Academy

3, Agiou Mina street, Emporio square, +30 2310 521803

This is one of the restaurants in front of which the filming of The Bricklayer took place for two days. Decorated with vintage furniture and artworks of great Greek and foreign artists, the Academy exudes a highly artistic atmosphere. At the same time it is a very warm and welcoming place, whose owners have managed to combine sophisticated flavours with art.

The restaurant also also features a beautiful glass-roofed courtyard (open in summer) called Frida Khalo. Drawing inspiration from the latter’s distinctive painting style, the courtyard is decorated with bright colours and patterns.

Papageorgiou

11, Agiou Mina street, +30 2310 278562

The traditional pastry shop Papageorgiou, which since 1926 has been faithfully following the same old authentic recipe, the roots of which are lost in time, counts ninety-six years of history. The company was founded by the excellent confectioner Lazaros Papageorgiou and in 1937. Due to high demand for his products, he opened two stores. One of them is still in operation today.

In 1967 the second Papageorgiou generation created the new privately owned production facilities in Kalohori, Thessaloniki. Today, the third generation with their expertise combines innovation with tradition, remaining true to the vision of the founder of the company.

You may find the whole range of the company’s products in its store in the heart of Thessaloniki. There you’ll find a large variety of top-quality jams and 17 different kinds of sweet preserves, all kept in traditional blue pots. You will also find jarred jams with stevia, without added sugars, ideal for a healthy diet, since they have 60% less calories, loukoumia (Turkish delights) in various flavours, condensed top-quality sour cherry juice without preservatives, as well as traditional fondant, in vanilla or mastic flavour, which children love to enjoy by the spoonful submerged in a glass of cold water.

Opening hours: Monday, Wednesday, Saturday 09.00 – 15.30, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday 09.00 – 15.00 & 17.00 – 20.30
