Beautiful church in the middle of the city, surrounded by other attractions, and very near to Agia Sofia. It was fantastic roaming the streets and find such spectacular buildings and churches like this one.

Learn about ancient Greek mythology, Apollo and Hermes, about the different types of ancient Greek lyres (Chelys, Barbiton, Sambuca, Phorminx etc) and the enhanced vibrato mechanism of the Kithara of the Golden Age! Traditional modern instruments such as the Bouzouki and Bendir are also available. Whats more, you’ll be able to play any of them here! Combining academic research with love for ancient Greek culture and civilization; From Trias to Enneadai and Petteia (played by Achilles himself to foresee the result of the Trojan war) Seikilo’s handmade board games are numbered and available only at Seikilo. Learn how to play them and sharpen your mind like ancient Greeks did! Visiting during weekends available if booked in advance.

My partner and I really enjoyed Seikilo! The staff were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and gave us a tour and explanation (including some history and Greek mythology) of the instruments and even demonstrated each one expertly! We were allowed to play on every instrument and the staff member gave us tips how best to hold and play them. We also enjoyed the ancient Greek boardgames. The staff even indulged us and played one of the shorter games with my partner. Highly recommend!

Interesting in situ view of his early life. Easy to get to from the usual Salonica must-sees. More security than usual tourist stops.

The Church of St. Panteleimon the Great Martyr is a jewellery of our faith! Although frescoes are not preserved in the interior, there are two apses in the northern and the southern part of the church (the sanctuary in every orthodox church is created in the eastern part) with fragments of frescoes of the palaeologian era (Palaeologoi were the last dynasty of the Byzantine Empire). It's really worth a visit!

Beautiful church with some old mosaics and gorgeously carved pews, definitely worth a visit. You can also visit the crypt underneath which is quite interesting and has good descriptions in English.
