Overview

This is an iconic walking tour in the inter-temporal city of Thessaloniki. We will start from the highest point in the city and walk to the sea. Along the way, we will immerse ourselves in the deep history and culture of a city that has existed and has maintained the status of a large city for the last 24 centuries. Conquered and held by just about all the major empires that have passed through this region and inhabited by pagans, Christians, Jews and Muslims this city is like a time capsule.
