Thessaloniki, Greece - Travel Around The World | Top best places to visit in Thessaloniki
Top best places to visit in Thessaloniki, Greece
Thessaloniki is the second-largest city in Greece and the capital of the region of Central Macedonia.
Thessaloniki has been dubbed as The Co-Capital, a reference to its historical status as the co-reigning city of the Byzantine Empire.
Aristotelous Square is the biggest plaza and the most central point of the city and it is located on the city’s waterfront.
Picturesque promenade is spanning for about 4.5 km and, during summer, is full of Thessalonians enjoying a lively atmosphere.
From the Aristotelous Square starts the main pedestrian mall of the city, the Aristotelous Street.
It leads to ancient Roman-era ruins, which there are many in the city. The most important are:
The Roman Forum.
The Rotunda of Galerius, the oldest church of the city and one of the oldest Christian churches in the world.
The Arch of Galerius, a monumental structure built to celebrate the victory over Persians.
The Palace of Galerius, one of the most impressive constructions and the heart of the roman city.
And the city’s most famous landmark, the White Tower, nowadays a history museum.
From the top of the tower is a nice 360-degree view of the city.
Visitors in Thessaloniki have the opportunity to admire a unique architecture and well-preserved Byzantine temples, such as:
The Hagia Sophia Cathedral, the largest basilica in the city.
The Metropolitan Orthodox Church, one of the most beautiful churches consecrated to St Gregory Palamas.
And the Church of St Demetrius, the main sanctuary dedicated to the patron saint of Thessaloniki.
There are numerous other fascinating spots around town worth a visit, like:
The OTE Tower, a 76-meter-tall construction.
Located next to it the Museum of Contemporary Art.
The Archaeological Museum, that holds artifacts from prehistoric times to late antiquity.
The National Theatre, a great acting school and a dance playhouse.
And the Royal Theater, that always shows excellent dramas.
But maybe the most interesting place is the Ano Poli, the former Ottoman quarter located north of the city center.
Literally called the Upper Town houses sites which are on the UNESCO World Heritage List, such as:
The Church of Hosios David.
The Vlatades Monastery, the only active priory, out of 20, in this quarter.
And the City Walls, the remains of fortifications surrounding the city from the early Byzantine period until the late 19th century.
But most people come here just for wonderful views of the city.

Thessaloniki, Central Macedonia, Citywalk - Greece HD Travel Channel
Thessaloniki, Central Macedonia, Greece, is the second largest city in Greece and has always been an important transport hub. Today it is considered as an important gateway from Europe to Istanbul and to the Near East. In addition, Thessaloniki has a good reputation as a university, cultural, trade and industrial city.
In the east of the city is the exhibition ground, which is dominated by OTE TV Tower. From here, it is only a few steps to the eastern end of the promenade with the landmark of Thessaloniki, the White Tower. Built in the 15th Century, it served as defense and fortifications and later as a prison and place of execution. Today it is a museum.
An equestrian statue of Alexander the Great was erected in immediate proximity. Alexander's family originates from a Macedonian royal house. Originally described as barbarians by the classical Greeks, Alexander's father Philip II succeeded for the first time to conquer and unite Greece. However Alexander's foolhardy conquests up to the border of India integrated the Macedonians in Hellas.
Thessaloniki was founded by Cassander, a Macedonian king, and named after his wife, a half-sister of Alexander the Great.
Further east we arrive at the Dikastirion square with a monument of Eleftherios Venizelos. At one corner of the square one can visit the Ottoman Bey hamam, the largest Turkish bath of the city.
During the lunchtime, we look for a tavern at the Aristoteles square, the most beautiful square in the city and watch the people at their busy hustle and bustle. Even Aristotle seems to make his thoughts on the people.

Thessaloniki in Zentralmakedonien, Griechenland, ist die zweitgrößte Stadt Griechenlands und war von jeher ein bedeutender Verkehrsknotenpunkt. Heute gilt es als wichtiges Tor Europas nach Istanbul und in den vorderen Orient. Daneben hat sich Thessaloniki einen guten Ruf als Universitäts-, Kultur-, Messe- und Industriestadt geschaffen.
Im Osten der Stadt liegt das Messegelände, das vom OTE-Fernsehturm überragt wird. Von hier aus sind es nur wenige Schritte zum östlichen Ende der Uferpromenade mit dem Wahrzeichen von Thessaloniki, dem weißen Turm. Errichtet im 15. Jahrhundert diente er als Verteidigungs- und Befestigungsanlage, später als Gefängnis und Hinrichtungsstätte. Heute ist er ein Museum.
Unmittelbar daneben wurde ein Reiterdenkmal für Alexander den Großen errichtet. Alexanders Familie entstammt einem makedonischen Königshaus. Ursprünglich von den klassischen Griechen als Barbaren bezeichnet, gelang es erstmals Alexanders Vater, Phillip II, Griechenland zu erobern und zu vereinen. Doch erst Alexanders tollkühne Eroberungszüge bis an die Grenze Indiens integrierten die Makedonier in Hellas.
Thessaloniki wurde von Kassandros, einem makedonischen König, gegründet und nach seiner Frau, einer Halbschwester Alexander des Großen, benannt.
Etwas östlich davon treffen wir auf den Dikastirion Platz mit einem Denkmal des Eleftherios Venizelos. An einer Ecke des Platzes ist das osmanische Bey Hammām, einst das größte türkische Bad der Stadt, zu besichtigen.
Am Aristoteles Platz, dem schönsten Platz in der Stadt, suchen wir uns eine Taverne, relaxen in der Mittagszeit während wir die Menschen bei ihrem geschäftigen Treiben beobachten. Auch Aristoteles scheint sich seine Gedanken über die Menschen zu machen.

Thessaloniki is the second-largest city in Greece and the capital of Greek Macedonia.
The White Tower of Thessaloniki is a monument and museum on the waterfront of the city of Thessaloniki, capital of the region of Macedonia in northern Greece. The present tower replaced an old Byzantine fortification, known to have been mentioned around the 12th century, that the Ottoman Empire reconstructed to fortify the city's harbour sometime after Sultan Murad II captured Thessaloniki in 1430. The tower became a notorious prison and scene of mass executions during the period of Ottoman rule.
