Hatzis

A Thessaloniki sweet-making institution since 1908, famous for Constantinopolitan (Politiko) sweets — kazan dipi, ekmek kataifi, baklava and excellent trigona. Its long-running central shop on Venizelou has closed; the family patisserie now trades from its branch out in the southeastern suburb of Kalamaria — a bus ride or short drive from the centre, but still the place to chase that older, sweeter, Istanbul-rooted Thessaloniki.
