Thessaloniki: A Full-Day Journey Through Time and Culture

Experience the unique character of Thessaloniki on a full-day guided tour designed to reveal the city’s rich historical and cultural tapestry. Founded in 315 BC and named after the sister of Alexander the Great, Thessaloniki has long stood at the crossroads of civilizations.

Together with your expert TrueTrips guide, explore a city where Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, and Jewish influences intertwine in unexpected harmony. Stroll along the city’s vibrant avenues and atmospheric alleys as you visit key landmarks such as the iconic White Tower, the Arch of Galerius, and the traditional hillside neighborhood of Ano Poli, with its preserved architecture and panoramic views over the Thermaic Gulf.

Throughout the day, your guide will share stories and insights that bring the city’s layered past to life—from its ancient foundations to its Byzantine grandeur and multicultural legacy. Your experience concludes with a curated visit to either the Archaeological Museum or the Byzantine Museum, both home to exceptional collections spanning from the Archaic to the Roman periods.
