Veria is one of the oldest continuously inhabited towns in Greece, with more Byzantine churches than anywhere outside Thessaloniki, the royal Macedonian tombs of Vergina fifteen minutes away and the Seli ski centre forty minutes up Mount Vermio. It is an hour from Thessaloniki and lives partly in its shadow. Anyone searching for escorts in Veria will find a compact, conservative town with essentially no local supply and a great many listings that are the city’s.
We are an Athens agency. Veria is a Thessaloniki-airport booking for us, and it usually happens as part of a Thessaloniki trip or a Vergina and Seli weekend.
The town
Veria’s centre is the Eleftherias square and the streets running from it down to the old Jewish quarter of Barbouta above the Tripotamos river. Cafés and bars fill the pedestrian streets around Mitropoleos and stay busy until midnight or so. It is a polite town; couples are ignored, strangers asking at small hotels are not. The old quarter is for a walk.
Hotels
The Aiges Melathron on the edge of town is the large, modern hotel and the obvious discreet choice. The Makedonia in the centre is a solid business hotel. The restored mansions in Barbouta are charming small guesthouses; stay in one as a couple, not as a room expecting a visitor. In winter the hotels at Seli are chalets and everyone knows everyone; arrive together.
A companion to Veria
Thessaloniki airport is an hour by road. A companion flies from Athens and travels up for two nights or more on a day rate, travel quoted before you agree. Most Veria bookings share a rate with Thessaloniki. See the how it works page for what is verified beforehand.
Evenings and days
Eat in the old quarter: the tavernas along the river in Barbouta or around the square for the local Macedonian cooking, which is excellent and heavy. Bars cluster in the pedestrian centre. For the day, the Vergina museum built into the tomb mound is one of the best in Greece, the Naoussa wine villages are half an hour, and Seli or 3-5 Pigadia are the ski centres in winter.
