Daios Luxury Living

Top choice in Thessaloniki


Close to the White Tower, this boutique hotel has spacious, opulent rooms at a glorious seafront location. The suites have enormous soundproofed windows and balconies (from some of which you see only water). The hotel’s waterfront cafe is just as sophisticated, with an excellent range of cocktails. Enter on side street Smyrnis.
