February 15, 2022 Lean Nau

Thessaloniki (Greek: Θεσσαλονίκη, Thessaloníki [θesaloˈnici] ( listen)), also familiarly known as Thessalonica or Salonica, is the second-largest city in Greece, with over 1 million inhabitants in its metropolitan area, and the capital of Macedonia, the administrative region of Central Macedonia and the Decentralized Administration of Macedonia and Thrace. Its nickname is η Συμπρωτεύουσα (Symprotévousa), literally "the co-capital", a reference to its historical status as the Συμβασιλεύουσα (Symvasilévousa) or "co-reigning" city of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire, alongside Constantinople.

White Tower of Thessaloniki

Reviewed By 379alany - Limassol City, Cyprus

The White Tower is an iconic seafront landmark in Thessaloniki with an incredible history. The information inside is very well presented on each of it's floors (in Greek only, but there are audiophones available at the entrance). It's a well worth climb to the top where a small shop is located - the view of the seafront from there is superb. Well worth the small entrance fee and it's one of the attractions included in the Thessaloniki combined cultural ticket.

Aristotelous Square

Reviewed By panayiotisb2018 - Athens, Greece

Like Alexander the Great once said “I am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher (Aristotle) for living well. That goes for Thessaloniki as well literally! Don’t bother going to Thessaloniki if your not planing to spend time at Aristotelous Square! Stand right in the middle and breathe in all the energy of Northern Greece, or gaze above from a high top cafe of a hotel roof bar especially on a sunny day! This is the heart ❤️ of Thessaloniki, filled with beautiful cafes and restaurants, shops, hotels, the modiano market lathathika area and most of all amazing view! No wonder Aristotle was “Master of all trades”! The guy knew!

Heptapyrgion

Reviewed By sssteveg - Haifa, Israel

The Heptapyrgion of Thessalonica, located above the old town of Ana Poli is a most interesting place to visit. We were there on a day when entry was free (I have no idea why), but the entry fee is quite modest. It’s an interesting place for a stroll, and bathrooms were free and very clean. There are lovely views of the city from here.

An extraordinary and very historical church that you can see in Thessaloniki. You should spend an hour to learn its' history and see every corner of it. It definitely deserves this. You can also explore the surrounding streets which are very relaxing.
