Why choose this Thessaloniki tour ?
Roads full of monuments. Monuments full of stories about emperors, gods and mortals, wars and disasters, victories and feasts. A city of many faces – sometimes with a friendly smile, sometimes with an introvert frown, and some other times with an awkward pose as she stands in front of her historical significance and glorious 23-century past.
In this unique, alternative walking tour, we discover every period of the city’s history – from Roman times to present day – through a kaleidoscope of monuments and landmarks that mark the ever-present timeline of a multicultural metropolis.

What makes Guided Walking Tour in the Historical Center of Thessaloniki a unique experience ?

One of the most important archaeological sites of the Roman Thessaloniki awaits you only a few steps from our meeting point and first stop. Its story includes important buildings, Roman habits, trading products and a surprise engraved on an ancient Roman commercial road.
Thessaloniki’s first Ottoman baths still stand next to a road that remains the city’s most important one from its foundation to date.
You will have the opportunity to learn the history of the city’s markets and to taste top-quality local delicacies.
A lively neighborhood full of colors, taking its name from the flower shops one finds there. In every corner, it hides pieces of the history of the city’s Israeli community.
Ladadika is one of the liveliest neighborhoods in the center of Thessaloniki. Years ago the neighborhood was full of aromas of all kinds of spices and products that arrived at the port of Thessaloniki from every corner of the world.
The port of Thessaloniki is the perfect spot from which you can admire the White Tower, the city’s symbol, but also the wonderful view of the Thermaic Gulf. And if you listen carefully, you might hear the voice of a mermaid looking for her brother…
