Only a 15 minute drive from the center of Thessaloniki or 30 minute drive from our apartments Dionisos in Paralia Dionisiou Beach and Nea Moudania there is a very exciting place of interest for children: planetarium. It is called by people the planetarium but its official name is Thessaloniki science center & technology museum which highlights much better.

It is impossible not to notice the museum: the main building is a huge metallic shape sphere and attracts the attention from the far and is visible from the main highway Thessaloniki-Halkidiki . The museum is located on the hill with a nice sea and Thessaloniki view.

The museum consists of several parts: digital planetarium, 3D giant screen cinema, motion simulator, ancient Greek technology, classic automobiles and the techno park hands-on area.
