La Torre Blanca de Tesalónica (en griego: Λευκός Πύργος Lefkós Pýrgos; turco: Beyaz Kule; Ladino: Kuli Blanka) es un monumento y museo en el paseo marítimo de la ciudad de Tesalónica, capital de la región de Macedonia en el norte de Grecia. La torre actual reemplazó una antigua fortificación bizantina, que se sabe se mencionó alrededor del siglo XII, que el Imperio Otomano reconstruyó para fortificar el puerto de la ciudad poco después de que el Sultán Murad II capturara Tesalónica en 1430. La torre se convirtió en una prisión notoria y escenario de ejecuciones masivas Durante el período de dominio otomano. La Torre Blanca fue remodelada sustancialmente y su exterior fue encalado después de que Grecia obtuvo el control de la ciudad en 1912. Se adoptó como el símbolo de la ciudad.
La Iglesia de San Demetrio, o Hagios Demetrios (en griego: Άγιος Δημήτριος), es el santuario principal dedicado a San Demetrio, el santo patrón de Tesalónica (en Macedonia Central, Grecia), que data de una época en que era la segunda ciudad más grande de El Imperio Bizantino. Es parte del sitio Paleocristiano y Monumentos Bizantinos de Tesalónica en la lista de Sitios del Patrimonio Mundial por la UNESCO desde 1988.
Construida en 306 d. C. por los romanos, Rotunda es uno de los sitios religiosos más antiguos de la ciudad. Regresando a finales del siglo III d. C., después de varias guerras devastadoras, los romanos decidieron dividir el Imperio en 4 regiones, cada una con sus propias provincias, lo que llevó a la creación de una nueva forma de liderazgo, la Tetrarquía.
El Arco de Galerio (kamara) y la Rotonda fueron elementos básicos del complejo palaciego. Las intensiones originales predecían su uso como mausoleo, aunque muchos arqueólogos creen que inicialmente se usó como un templo romano. Las dimensiones de la estructura principal son bastante impresionantes.
El Foro Romano de Tesalónica es el antiguo foro de la ciudad de la época romana, ubicado en la parte superior de la Plaza Aristóteles. Es un gran foro de dos terrazas que presenta habitaciones de dos pisos, desenterradas por accidente en la década de 1960.

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>
