Thessaloniki is a city where history and everyday life meet at every turn. From the White Tower and Byzantine churches to the vibrant seaside promenade, the city offers a blend of cultural heritage, excellent gastronomy, and a relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere. Unlike the Greek islands, Thessaloniki provides an authentic experience of urban life in Greece, with restaurants, markets, and cafes that are an integral part of the daily life of the local population.

Everything you need for Thessaloniki in one place
Iconic symbol of Thessaloniki, a 15th-century Ottoman tower rising along the shore of the Thermaic Gulf. Inside the tower is a museum displaying the history of the city from the Byzantine period to the modern era. From the top, a panoramic view of Thessaloniki and the coastline unfolds.
One of the most significant museums in Greece, with collections spanning the period from prehistory to late antiquity. It houses exceptional finds from Macedonian tombs, including gold jewelry and artifacts from the era of Philip II and Alexander the Great. The museum was founded in 1962 and is located in a modern building in the city center.
A well-preserved Byzantine quarter on a hill above Thessaloniki, featuring authentic Ottoman houses, narrow cobblestone streets, and remnants of Byzantine walls. It offers the finest panoramic view of the entire city and the gulf. It is also home to the fortress of Eptapyrgio (Yedi Kule), which dates back to the Byzantine period.
The most famous seaside resort near Thessaloniki, the first of the three 'fingers' of the Halkidiki peninsula, with crystal-clear turquoise waters and sandy beaches.
