This shot was taken in Kalamaria, Thessaloniki, next to Saint Nicholas church (which obviously you can’t see in the photo). I was trying to find something interesting to shoot when I saw those rocks covered in green moss. Luckily the sunset was on my side and it gave me a colourful sky. After so many years taking landscape photos in Thessaloniki it is getting harder and harder to find something new to photograph. Probably I should travel more!

It isn’t a common fact to snow in my hometown Thessaloniki, Greece. Today there was a “heavy” snowfall so I got my camera and went out to take some photos! Here you can see Zongolopoulos’ umbrellas, a landmark of the city. And my umbrella to accompany them!

This stunning night photograph captures the enchanting beauty of my hometown, Thessaloniki, Greece’s vibrant second city. As your eyes wander across the image, several iconic landmarks come into view, each telling a story of the city’s rich culture and history.

On the right side of the photo, you’ll notice the striking Concert Hall buildings A and B—two modern architectural gems that host a variety of performances and cultural events throughout the year. Their illuminated facades stand proudly against the night sky, symbolizing Thessaloniki’s thriving arts scene.

Towards the center, the elegant Makedonia Palace Hotel shines in a distinctive purple hue. This luxurious hotel is not only a favorite among visitors but also a landmark that overlooks the serene Thermaikos Bay, offering breathtaking views both day and night.

A little further to the left, the iconic White Tower emerges—a historic monument and one of Thessaloniki’s most recognizable symbols. Its presence in the photo adds a timeless charm, reminding us of the city’s rich Byzantine and Ottoman past. Just above, the ancient city walls climb the hillside, whispering tales of Thessaloniki’s strategic importance and resilience through centuries.

One of the city’s true treasures is its beautiful seaside promenade, visible along the waterfront. This lively stretch is a beloved spot for locals and tourists alike, perfect for leisurely walks, cycling, or simply sipping coffee while soaking in the refreshing sea breeze. The promenade truly comes alive at night, with cafes and bars buzzing softly under the stars.

What I find most captivating about this shot is how the city lights dance and shimmer across the calm waters of Thermaikos Bay, creating a mesmerizing reflection that highlights Thessaloniki’s unique blend of urban energy and natural beauty. It’s a perfect snapshot of a city that feels alive, warm, and inviting even after the sun sets.

Whether you’re a visitor or a local, Thessaloniki’s nightscape offers a magical experience that stays with you long after the night ends.

Sometimes the weather has unexpected surprises for us photographers. This afternoon the sky was full of clouds. I had my camera set up but I didn’t expect much. All of a sudden a little opening appeared and the sky was painted red! It lasted only for a few minutes and although some dogs playing in the water tried to wet my camera I managed to take this shot!

This photo was published in the Greek magazine photographer which had light as theme!

This photo was taken last February while I was biking at Thessaloniki next to the sea. The sunset was magnificent but I didn’t have my DSLR with me. Nexus 5 came to the rescue to catch those silhouettes and sunset colors!
