Nick Galis Hall sits right in the centre of Thessaloniki, inside the International Fair grounds, so staying nearby for an Aris Thessaloniki fixture puts you close to the action from the moment you land. All 24 hotels listed here are walkable to the arena, with the nearest just 0.54 kilometres away and the furthest 1.9 kilometres, so even a longer stroll is still a city-centre walk rather than a trek. Options run from three-star hotels and apartments to five-star stays, which suits everyone from fans after a simple base to those wanting more comfort before tip-off. Because the whole cluster sits inside one compact area, there is no real trade-off between location and price bracket here, just a difference in distance and star rating. On fixture nights rooms closest to the arena are often the first to go, so it pays to decide early how close you actually need to be.
When to book
Aris Thessaloniki play Nick Galis Hall on several dates, including 28 October 2026 against KK Cedevita Olimpija and 15 November 2026 against Olympiacos Pireus, so book as soon as your date is fixed. All 24 hotels are walkable, but the closest options near 0.54 kilometres suit fans who want a short walk after a night game.
