Thessaloniki: UNESCO City of Gastronomy

For the city of Thessaloniki, gastronomy is culture. With a history spanning more than 2,300 years, rich in tradition and culture, a significant milestone is achieved through international acknowledgment—the inclusion in UNESCO’s Creative Cities Network (UCCN). A heritage that, driven by sustainability and innovation, engages in an international dialogue of creativity with the aim of development in the economy, society, and the environment, fostering inclusivity.
