WHY TO GO In Greek terms, Thessaloniki is a young city. For the rest of the world, with almost 1,800 years of history, the second largest city in Greece and the capital of the nation's largest region of Macedonia has a lot to offer to its visitors. Founded by Macedonian king Cassander and named after his wife Thessalonike, the city is rich with Roman, Byzantine, Jewish and Ottoman monuments.
WHAT TO SEE During the excursion, you will enjoy the city's breath-taking panorama from the Seven Towers Fortress, visit the old Byzantine churches of St. Demetrios and Agia Sophia, or admire the Arch and Tomb of Roman Emperor Galerius. You will have enough free time to enjoy the walk on the waterfront to the White Tower, the city's landmark, visit the busy fish market or have a cup of coffee at the central Aristotle Square.
