Anatolia
Spacious single room was comfortable with a huge modern bathroom. Breakfast buffet had many things in a dining hall with great ambiance. Very good value for the money, and a great location at city center.

Vergina Hotel
A large hotel between the port and the train station on a busy boulevard. A bit rundown, but typical for the city. Extremely small elevators, often full. Kind staff.
