As you walk through ancient streets, seafront promenades, and historic neighbourhoods, you’ll discover stories of gods, heroes, emperors, and mythical figures connected to the city.

Learn about Thessaloniki, the sister of Alexander the Great who, according to legend, became a mermaid roaming the Aegean Sea.
