Ladadika
Λαδάδικα
A harbor-side district of old warehouses, where colorful neoclassical buildings have been converted into taverns and restaurants. It is one of the centers of Thessaloniki's nightlife.
Ladadika means 'oil shops.' During the Ottoman period, it was the hub of the wholesale olive oil and food trade, and it survived the great fire of 1917. From the 1980s the old warehouses were restored into restaurants, meze taverns, bars and nightclubs. Open-air seating along the stone-paved lanes is lively, and many venues stay open late into the night on weekends. The district is right by the port and Modiano Market, making it ideal for dinner and an evening stroll.
