The Ghana international made 28 appearances in the league, scoring five goals and delivering three assists.
In a photo shared on social media, Rahman was presented with a plaque to acknowledge his place in the Best Eleven in Greece.
The 30-year-old also starred for PAOK as they reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa Conference League last season.
This season, Rahman has been on a good run of form, scoring seven goals in 22 appearances across all competitions, per Transfermarkt.
Rahman will be hoping to defend the Greek league title successfully with POAK. They currently sit in third place, three points behind leaders Olympiacos.
It is his second spell with the Greek outfit, winning the Greek Cup in 2021 while on loan.
Baba Rahman rediscovers form
Before moving to Greece, Rahman struggled as a loan player at different clubs, spending time at Real Mallorca, Stade Reims, and Reading.
The Ghana international decided to end his stay at Chelsea after nine years without commanding a place at the London club.
The decision proved to have helped the former Augsburg player, who returned to Greece last summer. At PAOK, he is a mainstay in the team, playing regularly in the league.
