Tour description
Thessaloniki is Greece's cosmopolitan second city, a lively port with more than two thousand years of history layered along its seafront. Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman and Jewish heritage all mingle in its streets, and its food and nightlife are legendary. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its history and energy.
You will meet at the iconic White Tower, wander to Roman ruins and Byzantine churches, and explore the lively market lanes. Along the way you will hear about the city's multicultural past and its role in Greek history. Vibrant and historic, Thessaloniki is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
