Delphi

Reviewed By Charles_and_Susan - Nottingham, United Kingdom

We were shown around by a local guide as part of our Greece tour. Although you'd be impressed by what you saw if you went by yourself I think we got more out of it with a guide - or maybe take a good guide book, there's so much to see and understand at this site. If you're feeling energetic there's a walk right up to the stadium at the top, it is worth it.

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.

Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes

Reviewed By FedoraOnTour - Sidcup, United Kingdom

Largely rebuilt by the Italians this is a very beautiful building - lovely views from the windown and lots and lots of interesting stuff for history buffs - beautiful mosaic floors nicked from Kos. You do get a feel for how the palace was during the crusades.
