Voice of Travelers to Thessaloniki
Art visit to Thessaloniki
I am Yousef from Egypt, I am fan of arts and antiquated history. I travel around the world to read and understand history and arts of different cultures. Last winter, I visited the Archeological Museum of Thessaloniki and Museum of Byzantime Culture. This was the first time to travel to Greece and I was excited by the prospect of experiencing and interacting with a new culture in Thessaloniki. I had planned for this trip from early as this year and since I needed both ticket and visa to attend the event. To receive a visa to Thessaloniki, one needs a valid passport, travel ticket and accommodation ticket. I bought both the air ticket and accommodation ticket to Tamworth online at a 10% off. Emirates Airlines offered 8% off any ticket bought. This was the first time to travel using Emirates Airlines and the experience was marvelous. With inflight entertainment and friendly attendants, I am confident that all who travelled using Emirates, found the travel experience to Thessaloniki satisfying.
Back to Thessaloniki after school
I am Papolos, a student at Aristole University. Last month, I visited my parents in Thessaloniki and overall, the travel experience was fantastic. I didn't have enough money thus I bought my ticket online after a referral from a friend on where to get cheap tickets. The cheapest ticket to Thessaloniki was by Aegean Airlines compared to tickets by other airlines. EasyJet ticket was more expensive than the other airlines. With a travel ticket as a student, the airline allowed free check-in for the first and second bags. The airline has incredible services, actually I am planning to buy a ticket for my younger sibling to visit me in Athens.
