Access & Parking
Due to the full-scale operation of the Food & Drinks by Detrop exhibition (alongside Philoxenia – Hotelia) across all the main exhibition halls and given TIF-HELEXPO’s absolute priority of ensuring the safety of exhibitors and visitors by restricting vehicle traffic in pedestrian areas, free parking spaces within the Exhibition Centre will be extremely limited.
Recommendation to Use the Metro: To ensure convenient access to the Exhibition Centre, visitors are strongly advised to use the Thessaloniki Metro. With trains running every 3 minutes, direct access is available via the “Sintrivani” station, located next to the Exhibition Centre entrance.
Instructions for Drivers:
- Vehicle entry (subject to availability) is permitted exclusively through the Freight Gate on Egnatia Street.
- Security personnel will strictly enforce traffic and parking regulations to ensure pedestrian safety. All drivers are kindly requested to fully comply with the instructions provided by the gate staff.
- Visitors are also reminded that the company operates two designated paid parking areas around the Exhibition Centre, offering both short-term and long-term parking options. For further information, please visit: https://helexpo.gr/services/parking-spaces/
