Visite guidée à pied du centre historique de Thessalonique
Description
Routes pleines de monuments. Des monuments pleins d'histoires d'empereurs, de dieux et de mortels, de guerres et de désastres, de victoires et de fêtes. Une ville aux multiples visages - parfois avec un sourire amical, parfois avec un froncement de sourcils introverti, et d'autres fois avec une pose maladroite alors qu'elle se tient devant son importance historique et son passé glorieux du 23ème siècle. Dans cette visite à pied alternative unique, nous découvrons toutes les périodes de l'histoire de la ville - de l'époque romaine à nos jours - à travers un kaléidoscope de monuments et de points de repère qui marquent la chronologie omniprésente d'une métropole multiculturelle.

Itinéraire
Nous nous retrouverons dans la cour de Saint Démétrios, saint patron de Thessalonique. Notre guide certifié vous fera découvrir l'histoire de la ville vieille de 2 300 ans, vous accompagnera à l'intérieur de l'église et de ses catacombes et partagera avec vous ses secrets bien cachés.
L'un des sites archéologiques les plus importants de la Thessalonique romaine vous attend à quelques pas de notre point de rencontre et premier arrêt. Son histoire comprend des bâtiments importants, des habitudes romaines, des produits commerciaux et une surprise gravée sur une ancienne route commerciale romaine.
Un quartier vivant et plein de couleurs, tirant son nom des fleuristes qu'on y trouve. Dans chaque coin, il cache des morceaux de l'histoire de la communauté israélienne de la ville.
Vous aurez l’occasion de découvrir l’histoire des marchés de la ville et de déguster des spécialités locales de grande qualité.
Les premiers bains ottomans de Thessalonique se trouvent toujours à côté d'une route qui reste la plus importante de la ville depuis sa fondation jusqu'à ce jour.
En plein milieu de la place la plus importante de Thessalonique, nous racontons une histoire à couper le souffle sur un incendie qui a changé la ville une fois pour toutes.

Tour guide Vasiliki was on time for pick up - actually she was a bit earlier which was nice Vasiliki’s knowledge and enthusiasm was shown through her VERY WELL prepared sets (plural) of laminated cards of pictures and information - bringing the history to life Her story telling was great and well structured and the many ‘secrets’ of the city locations & events made the tour enjoyable Thank you and keep bringing the History Alive!!! P.S. all your other recommendations for clothes, luggage and restaurants were good - been to ALL of them. Thank you
Thank you, Ariane, for such a wonderful and detailed review! We are so glad that you enjoyed the tour and Vasiliki’s storytelling. It is also great to hear that you made the most of our recommendations! Thank you for choosing Dot2Dot. We truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you back one day!
Vasiliki and her tour partner at Dot 2 Dot- hands down- have the vibe on the city not only as contemporary women, but as accomplished scholars! She makes it thoughtful and fun at the same time, while accommodating your own ADD if you want to look at something and veer off. The price is worth it. Their education is worth it. You make a lifelong friend. I can't say enough about what I learned regarding all the occupations, the sites, the flavor the texture the everything of Thessaloniki! You have friends now in Colorado, Vasiliki!!! Xoxo (we know you are royalty!).
Thank you so much for your beautiful words, dear Anne-Marie! We’re truly touched by your message and so happy that you enjoyed discovering Thessaloniki with us. It was a joy to share the city’s stories - and even more rewarding to connect with such enthusiastic travelers! You definitely have friends here in Thessaloniki too, and we’ll be waiting to explore even more together next time you visit. Sending our warm greetings all the way to Colorado! 💙
The storytelling, and photographs bought the history alive and meant we gained a real appreciation of just some of the history of this important city. Vassalekey was outstanding and included just the right amount of info for us to absorb and process. What a delight she was, her passion, knowledge and pace of the tour means we left feeling really pleased we had booked this tour.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re delighted to hear how much you enjoyed exploring Thessaloniki's history with us. We’d love to welcome you back for another memorable experience! Safe travels on your cruise!
Our tour guide was excellent and was a superb historian. We greatly enjoyed our tour and highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled you enjoyed the tour and hope to welcome you again!
Deniz was very professional and full of interesting stories. Of course he was very knowledgeable about the sites we had planned to visit but was also very interesting to talk to about general culture and in particular about fine rugs from the area. Definitely a memorable tour!
Dot2dot is the MUST experience in Thessaloniki. I had attended in the past private tours, so I hired them in a corporate event as well. All my guests were super excited and enjoyed the experience! Trust the experience and enjoy!
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so happy to hear that everyone enjoyed the experience. We look forward to welcoming you and your guests again in the future!
Our guides were great. I would highly recommend them. We spent a full 3 hours learning of the history of Thessaloniki from 400 BC through the present day. Their ability to speak English was pretty good. We probably walked about 3 kilometers total and sat down several times while they spoke.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're delighted you enjoyed the tour and truly appreciate your recommendation.
I love the way the introduce you to the history of this town. Bringing to life old stories so you can be a part of it and see the old days.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us this review. We are very glad to know that you enjoyed the tour and hope to see you again in the future!
Great way to see the city. Lots of fun. I enjoyed the actor who would appear to tel us a story. Its a fascinating old city in the times of Alexander the Great.
Thank you very much! We are glad you enjoyed the tour. We hope to see you again in one of your next trips!
This was an exceptionally good tour led by Daphne who has a degree in archeology and was extremely knowledgeable. We have done a lot of these tours around the world and we both agreed this was the best one we have done. It was well thought out and immersive in ways tours tend not to be. On the tour we revisited a couple of sites my husband I had had previously been to but Daphne was able to point out so many things we had overlooked or not fully understood. This tour is a must for visitors who wish to appreciate the city’s fascinating history and sites. Highly recommended.
Dear Steven, Thank you very much for taking the time to write this lovely review and share your experience with us. We really appreciate it. We hope to see you both again in the future!
