What to see in Thessaloniki
Must-sees
Thessaloniki is best explored along its seafront, from the White Tower to Aristotelous Square, which opens onto the gulf. It has a dozen Byzantine churches on the World Heritage list, such as Agios Dimitrios and the Rotunda, the Arch of Galerius and the remains of the Roman palace.
The upper town, Ano Poli, keeps Ottoman houses and walls with views. Below are the Archaeological Museum, the Museum of Byzantine Culture, Modiano market and the Ladadika district, and street food, such as a breakfast bougatsa, is part of the visit.
Free tours and guided visits
Thessaloniki has free walking tours and guided visits of the centre and upper town, food tours, and trips to Vergina, Meteora, Mount Olympus and the beaches of Halkidiki.
