What to expect
The White Tower is the emblem and most important landmark of Thessaloniki City. Since its construction in the 15th or 16th century, the White Tower served as a fortification, garrison, prison and museum. It is circular, with a height of 33.90 meters and a diameter of 21.70 meters. It consists of a ground (entrance) floor and six upper stories. Ticket included.
Alexander the Great Statue - an impressive, six meters (20 ft.) tall monument that represents Alexander while riding his horse “Voukefalas” (Bucephalus)
Umbrellas Zongopoulos
“The Umbrellas” was made by Greek sculptor Giorgios Zongolopoulos in 1997 when Thessaloniki was the European Capital of Culture. Now one of the most photographed places in the entire city, it’s sometimes illuminated with different lights making it even more magical.
Church of Agia Sofia
Hagia Sophia is a church dedicated to the Holy Wisdom in Thessaloniki, Greece. The three-nave basilica was built in the 7th century on the foundations of a church from 315; it is considered a precursor of cross-domed churches.
Holy Church of Saint Demetrius, Patron Saint of Thessalonica
The Church of Saint Demetrios or Demetrios Basilica is an early Byzantine church in Thessaloniki dedicated to the city’s Patron Saint. It was built in the middle of the 5th century (413), on the site of the Saint's martyrdom, by the Illyrian prefect Leontios. In this area was the "stadium" where dueling matches took place.
Heptapyrgion of Thessaloniki
The Byzantine Walls are 7 kilometers long and up to 10 meters high, as well as almost 5 meters thick. A number of fortresses and defensive towers were added during different periods of history like the Heptapirgion and the Trigoniou Tower located near the Acropolis. Several square, circle or polygon shaped towers were also built along the entire perimeter.
INSPOT Rotonda
Circular building built as a house of worship by Romans in the early 300s & known for its mosaics. It is now one of the 15 Paleochristian and Byzantine Monuments of Thessaloniki that were included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1988.
The Arch of Galerius (Kamara) is an early 4th-century AD monument in the city of Thessalonika as an outstanding example of early Byzantine art and architecture.
The Greek Agora and Roman Forum
OPTIONAL. Ticket not included. Cost: 2€. The Ancient Roman Forum, the administrative centre of ancient Thessaloniki, occupied an area about two hectares in the heart of the city. Its construction began at the end of the 2nd century A.D. on the site of an older forum dating from early Imperial times.
Aristotelous Square is the main Thessaloniki square and is located on Nikis avenue (on the city's waterfront), in the city center. It was designed by French architect Ernest Hébrard in 1918, but most of it was built in the 1950s. Many buildings surrounding the central square have since been renovated and its northern parts were largely restored in the 2000s.
