Cafe Nikis 35

Thessaloniki


Sitting just below street level, this snug waterfront cafe-bar is perfect for a Sunday-morning coffee (€3) or afternoon beer (€4). It's sometimes a good bet if you fancy a quieter evening than those offered at most nearby bars, and always a good bet for sea views and people-watching.
