Overview

  • Discover a city that refuses to be just one thing. Thessaloniki is a breathtaking palimpsest where Roman emperors, Byzantine saints, Ottoman sultans, and Sephardic merchants all left their indelible marks. On this immersive walking tour, you will uncover the hidden layers of a metropolis that has been repeatedly destroyed, whitewashed, and reinvented. From triumphal arches that became casual meeting spots to ancient bathhouses echoing with the ghosts of a lost Jerusalem of the Balkans, we will trace the dramatic transitions, the tragic erasures, and the visionary rebirth of modern Greece's most captivating city.
