Description

Starting at the Tower of the Fall, we explore the original layout of Thessaloniki and uncover why it is the harbour of the people.

Find out how religion influences politics. A highlight awaits as we dive into the former Turkish neighborhood, where Balkan-style houses, cobblestone streets, colorful facades, and some of the city’s best views captivate every visitor.

Thessaloniki’s immigrant history runs deep. As one of the oldest ports in the Mediterranean, the city has long welcomed newcomers who have helped shape its unique identity. Learn how these different cultures used to co-exist.

These and many more hidden treasures are waiting to be discovered by travelers who want to go off the beaten path and discover the city that I absolutely love!

Amazing tour by Dimitris!

We had an extraordinary experience with Dimitris! He was really organized and he helped us all of our questions! He keeps his groups rather small, so it was a good personal experience. Dimitris prepared some visualizations that were quite helpful. We recommend this tour to everyone, who is interested in the history of this beautiful town or is just searching for a local insight into the upper town. Thank you so much!

Great Tour!

Dimitris was a great guide! He told us about not only Thessaloniki's historical context, but also how people today live. He allowed ample time at each stop and answered all our questions to the best of his ability! Definitely recommend.

Great tour

Dimitris was informative and gave us great tips and information about Thessaloniki and Greece. We then had lunch in the restaurant he recommended

Great tour, great guide!

Some tourists limit their visit to the city center. With Dimitris you’ll discover Thessaloniki’s past, from Macedonian to Romans, Bizantines and Turks. You’ll also learn something about the great changes that transformed this town to a multicultural, multi-ethnic, multi confessional community to what is today. I do recommand this tour

10/10

Dimitris gave a fascinating tour about the political, social, religious, and cultural history of the city and also had great recommendations more generally. He was super accommodating with an organisational issue and went above and beyond to accommodate me. I can’t recommend this tour enough!
