Choosing Mother’s Day gifts can often be tricky. A complete and fulfilling experience, rather than a specific item or flowers, represents an especially fitting present this year, given the anxiety caused by the series of lockdown restrictions over the past couple of years and the desire to leave such negativity behind. A relaxed, reinvigorating Mother’s Day, or even weekend, is recommended, including, if preferred, with the family.

Greek northern city Thessaloniki offers many Mother’s Day experience options, one of these, a weekend at the Hyatt Regency Thessaloniki, combining quality gastronomy, wellness, music, poolside relaxation and uncontrived luxury, being a top choice.

This weekend, leave behind all concerns and head to the Hyatt Regency Thessaloniki, an experience offering a luxury stay, numerous recreational choices, reinvigorating sleep and plenty more, such as a unique wellness experience.

While mother is relaxing at the hotel’s Harmonia Spa spaces, whose services include massage, manicure-pedicure beauty treatment and facial treatment, the children can enjoy the hotel’s big garden area and wonderful outdoor swimming pool.

If definitely wanting to include sports activity into your stay, the Hyatt Regency Thessaloniki offers a range of choices, including one of the country’s best-equipped gyms, open-air spaces for running, as well as tennis courts. If at the Hyatt Regency Thessaloniki for the full weekend, Saturday would be a good day to enjoy these sports options as Sunday, Mother’s Day, is celebrated with special events at the hotel.

Ian’s Lounge Bar
Regency Casino Thessaloniki

Entertainment, fine dining and cocktails at the Regency Casino Thessaloniki

Following the show, theatregoers can continue their night out at the Regency Casino Thessaloniki, directly next door. Pandemic restrictions have just been lifted, so loosen up and enjoy the casino games as well as the casino’s classy atmosphere.

If not interested in games of chance, it is worth visiting the casino for its gastronomic experience. Alfredo’s Grand Dining restaurant has developed into an attraction for the city’s food aficionados. Chef Apostolos Altanis promises a feast of special dishes and flavours, prepared with top-quality ingredients. If seeking a fine-drinking experience, there is no need to go elsewhere. Ian’s Lounge Bar, at the Regency Casino Thessaloniki, offers signature cocktails amid a setting that resembles American speakeasies of the country’s Prohibition era a century ago.
