At Apollon he spent a succefull two-season spell and became an international with Greece U21.[6]

Konstantinidis signed with PAOK in 1998 and stayed there for four years. He topped his game and made himself steady in the starting eleven as a left winger, where he became a fan favourite. In the summer of 2002, due to the club's financial problems he was sold to Panathinaikos, where he played for three years, making over 60 appearances. In 2005 he returned to PAOK in 2005. During his second spell at the club of Thessaloniki, he became one of their captains. In the summer of 2009, Konstantinidis fell out of favor the plans of Fernando Santos and thus he moved to OFI in the Beta Ethniki. After the season's end, in which OFI narrowly failed to achieve promotion to the first division, Konstantinidis decided to retire, at the age of 35.
