Itinéraire
La Tour Blanche, l'emblème de Thessalonique, a été construite au XVe siècle après la chute de Thessalonique aux mains des Ottomans en 1430. À son emplacement se trouvait une tour plus ancienne appartenant aux fortifications byzantines de Thessalonique, là où le mur oriental rencontrait la digue. La tour était l’extrémité orientale de la digue. La Tour Blanche est circulaire, avec une hauteur de 33,90 mètres et un diamètre de 21,70 mètres. Il se compose d'un rez-de-chaussée (entrée) et de six étages supérieurs. Il est construit en pierre, en plâtre et partiellement en brique. Les créneaux, la toiture de l'entrée et le rez-de-chaussée ainsi que la voûte de l'escalier sont construits exclusivement en brique.
Le monument d'Alexandre le Grand est situé dans l'un des quartiers les plus populaires de Thessalonique, à Nea Paralia, juste au bord de la mer. C'est un monument impressionnant de six mètres de haut qui représente Alexandre chevauchant son cheval « Voukefalas ». (Bucéphale), l'un des chevaux actuels les plus célèbres de l'Antiquité.
Le musée archéologique de Thessalonique est l'un des plus grands musées de Grèce et le musée central du nord de la Grèce. Il est situé dans un bâtiment conçu par l'architecte Patroklos Karantinos depuis 1962 et a été désigné monument du patrimoine moderne, car il s'agit de l'un des exemples les plus représentatifs du modernisme architectural en Grèce. Ses collections comprennent des objets et des assemblages provenant de fouilles menées depuis 1912 par le Service des antiquités grecques dans toute la Macédoine.
L'Arc de Galère, monument du début du IVe siècle après J.-C., dans la ville de Thessalonique, est un exemple exceptionnel de l'art et de l'architecture byzantins.
La Rotonde Saint-Georges est située juste au nord de la jonction des deux axes principaux de la ville où se trouve l'Arc de Galère. C'est aujourd'hui l'un des 15 monuments paléochrétiens et byzantins de Thessalonique inscrits sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO en 1988. Le nom Rotonde vient de sa forme ronde. C'est l'un des monuments les plus anciens et les plus impressionnants de Thessalonique. Il a été construit dans les premières années de la tétrarchie romaine, lorsque César Galère (250-311 après JC) était basé à Thessalonique. Il faisait partie du complexe impérial, probablement selon une théorie construit comme mausolée de Galère, mais n'a jamais été utilisé.
Le Forum antique, centre administratif de l'ancienne Thessalonique, occupait une superficie d'environ deux hectares au cœur de la ville. Sa construction a commencé à la fin du IIe siècle après J.-C. sur le site d'un forum plus ancien datant du début de l'époque impériale.
L'église Saint-Démétrius, ou Hagios Demetrios, est le principal sanctuaire dédié à Saint Démétrius, le saint patron de Thessalonique.
La tour Trigoniou est la tour la plus célèbre et la plus impressionnante du mur. Il a été construit à la fin du XVe siècle pour empêcher une invasion de la ville. On l'appelle aussi "le balcon de Thessalonique", vous aurez la chance de profiter de la magnifique et imposante image panoramique de la ville embrassant la mer. Par temps clair, vous pourrez apercevoir le mont Olympe situé à 150 km, sans aucune difficulté.
Tsinari, qui fait partie de l'Ano Poli (ville haute), tire son nom du turc « cinar » signifiant platane. Le profil du quartier est toujours vivant en raison de la préservation de l'ancien plan urbain et du nombre important de bâtiments listides présents dans la zone.
La place Aristote est la place principale de Thessalonique, en Grèce et est située sur l'avenue Nikis (sur le front de mer de la ville), dans le centre-ville. Elle a été conçue par l'architecte français Ernest Hébrard en 1918, mais la majeure partie de la place a été construite dans les années 1950. De nombreux bâtiments entourant la place centrale ont depuis été rénovés et ses parties nord ont été en grande partie restaurées dans les années 2000.

This was a whirlwind tour, but Chris let me arrange it how I wanted so that I got most of the tough walking out of the way first. He was very helpful and aware of my limitations as I was using a walker due to a recent knee injury. Chris was also very helpful, friendly and made some great suggestions. Overall the day was very interesting and informative and I loved my time exploring what Thessaloniki has to offer.

Georgia was punctual and friendly. She made great suggestions on what to see and was thoughtful in asking how long we wanted to spend at each location. She also invited us to add any other areas we wanted to visit. She gave clear directions on where to meet her after we were finished with each location. The time frame was perfect for this tour and gave us lots of time after to explore on our own.

We spent 4 hours sightseeing in Thessaloniki. It was a very good morning with a safe, friendly driver. Our driver was prompt to meet us on time at the port, and the tour was enjoyable.

It’s great to know that our driver met you promptly at the port and helped make the tour an enjoyable experience. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again in the future.

Our local tour guide was very nice, but he simply drove us from stop to stop…more of a private driver than a tour guide. As with past experiences with Viator, we were expecting him to give us some basic information about the city and various stops as we went along.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the experience didn’t meet your expectations. We would like to kindly note that the tour booked does not include a licensed tour guide, and this is clearly stated in the tour description. Additionally, prior to your tour, our team sent you a message to confirm this and avoid any possible misunderstanding. Our drivers are experienced and familiar with the city, offering safe and comfortable transport between highlights, but they are not licensed to provide guiding services within archaeological sites or museums. We truly hope you still enjoyed exploring the city, and we remain at your disposal should you wish to experience a guided tour with a licensed guide on your next visit. Warm regards,
Akis was our driver. He gave us a piece of paper with a small description of each sight and an estimated length of time to stay at each sight. He was a driver and not a tour guide which was clear when I booked it with Viator. He was very friendly and flexible. We did not stay at the first sights as long as recommended so he recommended some other things including a stop at a cafe with an amazing view. We enjoyed our day very much.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that you had a great day with Akis and appreciated his flexibility and helpful recommendations. While our drivers aren’t official tour guides, we’re glad he could enhance your experience with thoughtful touches like the sight descriptions and extra stops. We hope to welcome you again on another adventure soon!
Driver was very nice and patient. we had very bad experiences with washroom. be prepared, only the museum has access to washroom.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you had a great experience with our driver! We truly appreciate your kind words about their patience and professionalism. We’re sorry to hear that the washroom situation was a challenge during your tour. Unfortunately, access to public facilities can sometimes be limited, but we’ll take your comments into account. Your feedback helps us improve, and we truly appreciate it. If you ever decide to tour with us again, we’d love the chance to make your experience even better!
Thank you for your service. The car is also very clean. I will book with you again if I have the opportunity to come back!
Thank you very much. We hope to see you again.
Vasiliy was on time and a very knowledgeable man on the area. He tailored our tour based on what we wanted to see. He took us to a small cafe overlooking the water. We had a fantastic day and would definitely recommend him. He also got me to drink Greek coffee, it was delicious.
Thank you very much for your review, always at your disposal and we are really happy you liked the tour and enjoyed a greek coffee.
We saw most of the attractions! Better than the cruise ship's offer at a much cheaper price! Thank you! The only thing we complained about was no bottle of water, which was listed as included.
Thank you very much for your review and we are really sorry the vehicle had no bottle of water, we always try to make sure our vehicles are fully equipped, we apologise.
