Situated in Northern Greece, Thessaloniki is relatively cold in January, especially when compared with the sunny province of Halkidiki, situated directly below the city. In January, temperatures can drop close to zero degrees Celsius, with an average of 6 degrees. In the daytime you can expect the temperature to be around 9 to 10 degrees Celsius. The city's port is situated in the Thermaikos gulf, which is quite windy this time of the year as the northern wind, Vardaris, is in full swing, cooling the area but dispersing cloud, resulting in relatively few rainy days (around 8).

Vardaris has its uses though and January is a great time for sailing in Thessaloniki and the surrounding areas. The Nautical Club of Thessaloniki, situated less than a kilometer from the city's center offers a host of fun sailing activities ranging from fun tours around the Termaikos gulf to professional sailing courses at very affordable prices.
