The Thessaloniki Marina is located on the coast of the Thermaic Gulf in Nea Aretsou, a district of Kalamaria , which in turn is a suburb of about 5 km north-lying city of Thessaloniki.

gation aids and the entrance is on the outer breakwater already clearly visible from afar. This is lit-up at night also protecting the marina from any weather. Only with winds from the west may tides occur in some moorings.
Overall, the Thessaloniki Marina has 242 berths which offer all the service facilities of a modern marina and other places on land that can be used during hibernation periods. In the sanitary facilities are both showers and toilets and fuel is brought by a tanker truck to the pier. The marina has a car park which can be used only with a special magnetic card.
Shopping Most groceries are available in the vicinity of the marina. However, better shops are in the center of Kalamaria, which is only about 500 meters away, or right in Thessaloniki, which is easily reached by bus from the marina.
Food and Leisure Near the Thessaloniki marina, on the main road above the harbor, and also in the center of Kalamaria are numerous restaurants and taverns offering mainly Greek cuisine and seafood delicacies. Aretsou and Kalamaria offer little recreational opportunities. But by good bus connection one reaches Thessaloniki fast, which houses many museums and historic city buildings and churches from the Roman, early Christian and Byzantine periods, some of which were even included in the World Heritage Site of UNESCO.
