A Thessaloniki IP can check OASTH bus information and Spitogatos property listings for Central Macedonia. It also helps test Greek-language search results returned to users in northern Greece. Thessaloniki's GDP was €19.66 billion in 2023, the second highest in Greece, with services at 77.81% of output. Its port is Greece's second-largest container port after Piraeus. - Thessaloniki Metro opened in 2024. - Aristotle University of Thessaloniki is the largest university in Greece and the Balkans. - The Prime Minister traditionally presents government policy at the opening of the annual Thessaloniki International Fair. ## How do I target Thessaloniki in the proxy username? Put the country first, then the city: `USERNAME-country-gr-city-thessaloniki`. The value is the English name in lower case, without accents. For a multi-step check, keep one Thessaloniki IP with `USERNAME-country-gr-city-thessaloniki-session-thessa1-ttl-10`. Sticky sessions last up to 30 minutes (the IP can change earlier). Expect some exits to geolocate to towns around Thessaloniki, for example Kalamaria, Pavlos Melas, Thermi and Oraiokastro. Two geolocation databases can disagree on the same address block. The Municipality of Thessaloniki covers only 19.307 km²; neighbouring municipalities such as Kalamaria belong to an urban area of 802,572 residents in 2021. ## Which networks serve homes in Thessaloniki? Nationally, home broadband in Greece is led by OTE (Cosmote), Nova and Vodafone Greece; the sector is supervised by Hellenic Telecommunications and Post Commission (EETT). OTE (Cosmote): 45%-55% of fixed broadband lines in December 2024, per EETT. Thessaloniki has no city-owned broadband network in our sources, so its homes rely on the national operators. This describes the local market, not the networks our pool uses at a given moment. Read the ASN of your exit with an IP lookup, or keep the exit on one network with `-asn-` ([ASN guide](https://eurocityproxies.com/targeting/asn/)). ## Which rules apply to checks run from Thessaloniki? Greece's supervisory authority is the Hellenic Data Protection Authority. The framework is GDPR + Law 4624/2019. The standard VAT rate is 24%; retail sites shown to Thessaloniki visitors usually quote prices with it included. For official local data, start with the city's own [Open Data Portal of the Municipality of Thessaloniki](https://opendata.thessaloniki.gr/). Collect only what you need, respect each site's terms and robots.txt, and see our [GDPR checklist](https://eurocityproxies.com/guides/gdpr-checklist-proxy-data/).

Geolocation around Thessaloniki can show neighbouring municipalities such as Kalamaria, Pavlos Melas, Thermi or Oraiokastro. The Municipality of Thessaloniki covers only 19.307 km² and had 319,045 residents in 2021. Wikipedia gives 802,572 residents for the urban area that year. Postal codes in the area run from 53xxx to 56xxx. ### Which phone prefix and language apply to Thessaloniki? Thessaloniki landline numbers start with 231, so callers abroad dial +30 231. Greece moved to a closed ten-digit numbering scheme in 2001-2002. The digit after 231 belongs to the subscriber number, which gives local numbers starting with 2310 or 2312. Greek is the official language for local content tests. ### What is the proxy parameter for Thessaloniki? Add `-country-gr-city-thessaloniki` after your username and connect to `gw.eurocityproxies.com` on port 7777 (HTTP/HTTPS) or 7778 (SOCKS5). Thessaloniki is written in English, lower case, without accents. City availability varies; the checkout shows what is online. ### Which Greek platforms are worth checking from Thessaloniki? Common Greek platforms include Skroutz, Car.gr, xe.gr and Spitogatos. Many show listings, prices or delivery terms by location, so a Thessaloniki IP with a Greek browser setting shows what local visitors get. Check by hand and follow each site's terms; the gateway blocks banking, government and payment sites. ### Is a Thessaloniki IP more expensive than a Greece IP? No. Country and city traffic cost the same: $0.95 for 1 GB, $8 for 10 GB and $57 for 100 GB, with city and ASN targeting included. The top-up equals the plan price, with a $25 minimum, and unused traffic never expires. ## Other cities in Greece - [Athens](https://eurocityproxies.com/cities/athens/) — Attica ## Sources 1.
