La Tour Trigonion est également connue sous le nom de balcon de Thessalonique. Il offre une excellente vue sur l'acropole de la ville. En outre, les visiteurs peuvent profiter d'une vue panoramique sur la vieille ville et le golfe de Thermaikos. Par temps clair, les visiteurs peuvent voir le mont Olympe à 150 kilomètres. Tour Trigoniou, Thessalonique.
Lors d'une visite d'une journée complète de Thessalonique, un arrêt à Moni Vlatadon (Monastère de Vlatadon) est l'un des moments les plus mémorables. Niché dans la paisible ville haute, le monastère byzantin du XIVe siècle se trouve sur une colline juste à l'intérieur des vieilles murailles de la ville et est censé marquer l'endroit exact où saint Paul a prêché aux Thessaloniciens en 51 après JC. Une simple pierre à l'intérieur de la petite église serait traditionnellement l'endroit où se tenait l'apôtre. Vous arrivez après un court trajet en voiture du centre-ville, et la récompense est immédiate : une vue panoramique sur les toits, le golfe Thermaïque et – par temps clair – jusqu’au mont Olympe. L'église principale, dédiée à la Transfiguration, est magnifiquement décorée avec des fresques bien conservées, et l'ensemble se sent calme et habité car il est toujours un monastère actif appartenant au Patriarcat œcuménique. Une tenue vestimentaire modeste est requise (épaules et genoux couverts).
Entrez dans l'église Saint-Démétrios , l'une des plus anciennes et importantes églises byzantines de Thessalonique, admirez les fresques et descendez aux catacombes pour voir une partie de l'histoire de la ville. Le mardi la crypte est fermée et nous ne pouvons visiter l'église
Lors d'une visite d'une journée de Thessalonique, un arrêt au Forum romain (également connu sous le nom d'Agora antique) est un retour fascinant dans l'ère romaine de la ville. En plein cœur du centre moderne, à la jonction des rues Olympou et Filippou, ce grand site archéologique en plein air était autrefois le centre commercial, politique et social animé de Thessalonique romaine, avec ses principaux bâtiments construits au IIe siècle de notre ère.
Entrez dans le musée de la station de métro Venizelou et admirez les vestiges de la Via Egnatia qui montrent la glorieuse époque romaine de Thessalonique.
Émerveillez-vous devant les vestiges de la célèbre Arche Galère par laquelle passait la Via Egnatia, l'ancienne «autoroute» qui reliait Rome à Costantinople.
Vous entrerez dans le monument le plus célèbre de Thessalonique qui est un musée et profiterez de sa vue fantastique sur le sommet.
Après avoir jeté un coup d’œil à la statue de Philippe II nous nous déplaçons pour admirer l’éternel roi de Macédoine, Alexandre le Grand sur son fier cheval Vuchefalas à l’endroit le plus photographié de Thessalonique.
Le père d'Alexandre le Grand tient bon sur le piédestal de la Tour Blanche, comme si nous voyions combien il est fier de son fils et des choses incroyables qu'il a accomplies.
Un bâtiment unique en son genre, la seule église chrétienne circulaire au monde, avec de superbes mosaïques et une histoire particulière d'un bâtiment qui est passé d'un temple romain, à une église chrétienne, à une mosquée et de retour à une église. Le mardi le musée est fermé donc on arrive à ne voir que l'extérieur.

This was a great tour. We had the best guide Yannis. He was amazing, full of knowledge and gave us great insight. We really really enjoyed the tour. Highly recommend.
Our driver and tour guide, Yannis, picked us up right on time from our hotel, the Electra Palace, in downtown Thessaloniki. Yannis is a life long resident of the city and he speaks perfect English. His enthusiasm for the city’s history was clear throughout the tour. His new Citroen van was cool and comfortable as we ventured from one amazing site to another. With a friendly and engaging personality, Yannis made it easy and fun for us to learn so much as we visited each of the main historical sites covering thousands of years of history. We finished the day with a very special treat. Yannis knows where to find the best bougatsa in the city. It was an incredible treat warm from the oven. Thank you Yannis for an amazing and fun tour of your city!
Dear Ken, It was my great pleasure to show you my city and talk to you about its long standing history. I am so grateful for your kind words and wish you all the best!
Yannis was wonderful! I really can't say enough. He adjusted the tour to be at our pace as my husband was struggling with a bad leg. He worked to get us close to things and make it easier for him. He gave us so much information and history without overwhelming us and making it interesting and fun. He told us about greek life, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. He even went out of us way and after I had expressed in an interest, got me a Bougatsa to try! I would highly recommend Yannis. He is easy to understand, his driving is wonderful, the car is comfortable and he will make your time in Thessaloniki unforgettable!
My dear Elizabeth, it was a pleasure meeting you and spending the day with you. I am grateful for your kind words and hope you enjoy the rest of your cruise!
Relaxed chance to see all the sights away from the crowds and delays on bus tours. Very informative tour guide! Transportertours was great!
We arranged a tour of the many local highlights of Thessaloniki with Yannis when our cruise ship docked there for the day. Yannis met us as arranged at the ship and for the next 5 hours he was a superb local guide. We thoroughly enjoyed our day and our experience
Dear Darrell, many thanks for your kind words, it was a pleasure meeting you and letting me show you the history of my city. All the best!
Loved it and learned so much about Thessaloniki. A comfortable car and a relaxed itinerary se we could see everything in the city.
Yannis was an excellent private driver-guide for my full-day tour of Thessaloniki. He picked me up on time in a comfortable car and showed me all the key landmarks: White Tower, Rotunda, Arch of Galerius, Aristotelous Square, Byzantine walls, stunning churches, and some hidden gems. His deep knowledge of the city’s history—from Roman to modern times—was fascinating, delivered in perfect English with great stories and humor. He tailored the pace to me, suggested perfect photo spots, and navigated traffic effortlessly, making the day relaxed and enjoyable. Highly recommend Yannis for anyone wanting a personalized, comprehensive introduction to Thessaloniki. Fantastic experience—5 stars! Thank you, Yannis!
We are so delighted that Yannis took all his efforts to meet our needs and visited all sites we are interested in. Very professional and considerate to tailor customs specifics! Highly recommend.
Thank you for your kind words, it was a special day with you and i am so happy you enjoyed it!!!
Being a local I had never been on a guided tour before. However, I knew that I hadn't visited some important sites of my city and as for the ones that I had, I just had a rather vague idea of their history as I had visited them when I was a schoolchild. This was the reason why I decided to look for a guided tour and I have to say that the whole experience exceeded my expectations! Giannis made sure that by the end of the tour I had formed a thorough understanding of the history of the city and instead of just providing me with information about each sight he actually helped me realize how some sights are even interrelated and interconnected in the continuum of the history of Thessaloniki. I absolutely loved the tour. Giannis is really good at capturing your attention and keeping it throughout the tour and, being a teacher, I have to say that this is a really difficult thing! I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour both to locals who want to become more familiar with their city's history and of course to tourists and travelers who want to go off the beaten track and seek for meaningful experiences.
Feeling like a local! I really enjoyed my guidance to the most important sights in Thessaloniki with someone who knew how to make this tour a memorable experience! John is a very pleasant guide and gave me all the necessary information about the city and the places we visited.I will be definitely booking another tour with him to explore more of Greece!
Many thanks for your kind words! it was a pleasure hosting you and hope to see you soon again!
