Thessaloniki is not Athens. The second city of Greece is quieter, more Byzantine in character, more genuinely Greek in its food culture — and less internationally observed. The wardrobe for Thessaloniki is almost identical in composition to Athens, but the occasions differ: the Ladadika taverna, the waterfront promenade, and the Byzantine churches replace the internationally observed hotel circuit.

For the Excelsior Hotel. The most celebrated luxury boutique hotel in Thessaloniki — the restored mansion in the Ladadika district. White PP linen for the hotel; navy PP linen with linen trousers and leather shoes for the hotel restaurant evening.

For the Byzantine churches. The Rotunda of Galerius, the Hagia Sophia of Thessaloniki, the Osios David church. A PP linen shirt fully buttoned in white or a composed natural with linen trousers and leather shoes for the church visits.

For the Ladadika district and the Modiano market. The restored port warehouse district — the most socially observed taverna and restaurant circuit in Thessaloniki. A PP linen shirt in a vivid colourway with linen shorts and leather sandals for the Ladadika evening.

For the White Tower and the waterfront promenade. The Byzantine sea tower on the Thermaic Gulf. A PP linen shirt in white with linen trousers and leather shoes for the promenade and the tower visit.
