Overview
What does a city taste like when it sits at the crossroads of empires?
You'll walk through Thessaloniki's oldest markets, stop at spice vendors most tourists never notice, and get a full breakdown — what each spice is, where it came from, how it's used in cooking, and why it ended up here.
Kapani. Modiano. The old bazaar. Mahlab, sumac, smoked paprika, aged cheeses, olive oils you've never tasted. The Sephardic recipes that survived deportation. The refugee cooking that redefined an entire city's cuisine in a single generation.
Designed for chefs, food lovers, and curious eaters who want to discover Thessaloniki the way locals actually experience it, through the plate.
