Det hvide tårn i Thessaloniki (græsk: Λευκός Πύργος Lefkós Pýrgos; Tyrkisk: Beyaz Kule; Ladino: Kuli Blanka) er et monument og museum ved havnefronten i byen Thessaloniki, hovedstaden i regionen Makedonien i det nordlige Grækenland. Det nuværende tårn erstattede en gammel byzantinsk befæstning, kendt for at være blevet omtalt omkring det 12. århundrede, at det osmanniske rige rekonstruerede for at befæste byens havn engang efter, at Sultan Murad II blev fanget i Thessaloniki i 1430. Tårnet blev et berygtet fængsel og scene for masseafskedigelser i løbet af den osmanniske regel. Det Hvide Tårn blev væsentligt ombygget, og dets udvendige var hvidkalket, efter at Grækenland fik kontrol over byen i 1912. Det er blevet vedtaget som symbolet for byen.
Kirken af Saint Demetrius eller Hagios Demetrios (græsk: Άγιος Δημήτριος) er den største fristed dedikeret til Saint Demetrius, skytshelgen i Thessaloniki (i Central Macedonia, Grækenland), der stammer fra en tid, hvor den var den næststørste by det byzantinske imperium. Det er en del af stedet Palaeochristian og Byzantine Monuments of Thessaloniki på UNESCOs liste over verdensarvssteder siden 1988.
Rotunda er bygget i 306 A.D. af romerne, og er en af byens ældste religiøse steder. Efter en række lange ødelæggende krige besluttede romerne at dele tilbage imperiet i 4 regioner, hver med sine egne provinser, og dermed føre til skabelsen af en ny form for ledelse, Tetrarchy.
Galerius Arch (kamara) og Rotunda var grundlæggende elementer i det palatiske kompleks. Oprindelige intentioner forudsagde brugen som et mausoleum, selvom mange arkæologer mener, at det oprindeligt blev brugt som et romersk tempel. Dimensionerne af hovedstrukturen er ganske imponerende.
Det Romerske Forum i Thessaloniki er det gamle romerske forum for byen, der ligger på oversiden af Aristotelous-pladsen. Det er et stort to-terraced forum med to-etagers stoas, gravet op ved et uheld i 1960'erne

Our excellent guide, Maria, met us at the beautiful Holy Church of St. Demetrius. Inside, after speaking to the significance and history of the Church, Maria lead us through a fascinating underground tour of ancient baths and religious architecture. As this was a walking tour we covered a lot of ground although at a leisurely pace which accommodated my knee. We lunched at a favorite local sidewalk cafe with an AMAZING bakery. We covered a large area of the City ending with Alexander the Great’s impressive statue. Maria was incredibly knowledgeable about Thessaloniki and we were so fortunate to have her as our guide.
This was a fantastic tour! Our guide customized the tour on the spot as he learned more about what we were interested in and wanted to know more about. There was a perfect balance between visiting all of the touristy spots and seeing local spots to truly experience the city. This tour was so in depth and was a lot of fun. It is a must if you visit Thessaloniki. I highly recommend doing this tour on your first day in Thessaloniki so you can get the local scoop on what to see and where to eat.
Great walking tour to experience highlights of Thessaloniki! Maria was a fantastic guide. She went above and beyond to ensure the tour was a success!
Dear Jeremy, Thank you very much for your kind words! Hope to see have you back for more ☺️☺️ Best Wishes, Maria
We learned so much of Thessaloniki's history in a visual and engaging way. Our tour started at the Church of St. Demetrios, where we went underground into the old Roman baths where the Saint was killed. We learned about the history of the many incarnations of the Church from Roman times onward. From there, we saw Byzantine architecture and symbolism in the Church of Agia Sophia and learned more about the origins of the Iconoclast movement. Another highlight was the Rotunda, which was built by the Pagan emperor Galerius, turned into a Christian church, and then turned into a mosque by the Ottomans. We also visited the Arch and Palace of Galerius, heard the history of the White Tower, and ended by the statue of Alexander. The pace of the tour was excellent for us and packed with new information. By far the best walking tour we took in Greece.
Amazing symbolic monument museum at sea front. A must to see when you visit the city. Thessaloniki's top landmark, the 34m-high White Tower has a harrowing history as a prison and torture chamber.
Our guide Maria is the nice tour guide and friendly. She explained clearly. And her knowledge about history is the best. Thank you Maria.
Miss Vasiliki was fabulous! She was knowledgeable, engaging and compromising. Provided information without feeling lectured, appreciated time required for photographs. This excursion, while somewhat pricey, was so worthwhile. Cannot recommend them highly enough.
<p>My wife and I spent ten days in Thessaloniki and we went on this tour in the morning of our first full day in the city. Our guide was Anna Semertzi and we had a training guide with us as well. Probably due to the lateness of the season, November 19,2017, we were the only two non-guides on the tour so we had a very private tour. Anna's knowledge of the history of the city and about the customs, religion and archaeological sites was amazing. The tour covered all of the areas near our hotel and our guide took us to areas that we most likely would not have discovered on our own so that after the tour we felt comfortable walking all over without worry about getting lost. I would recommend doing this tour early on in your stay so that you get the overall lay of the land and feel of the city. In summary, we had a great guide and an extremely informative and enjoyable tour.</p>
