    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. The White Tower was substantially remodeled and its exterior was whitewashed after Greece gained control of the city in 1912. It has been adopted as the symbol of the city.

Indigenous Roman Catholic Greeks number about 50,000-70.000 and are a religious and not an ethnic minority. Most of them are a reminiscence of Venetian and Genoese rule in many Greek islands from the early 13th until the late 18th century, or descendants of the thousands of Bavarians that came to Greece in the 1830s as soldiers and civil administrators, accompanying King Otto. One very old but still common term to refer to them is Φράγκοι, or Franks, dating to the times of the Byzantine Empire, when medieval Greeks would use that term to describe all Catholics.

It served as the major redoubt of the city's acropolis, as well as the seat of its garrison commander in Ottoman times, until the late 19th century. It was then converted to a prison , which remained open until 1989. References to the infamous Yedi Kule prison abound in the Greek rebetika songs.

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.

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.

Best Things To Do In Thessaloniki, Greece's Hidden Gem

This video goes over one of our days in Thessaloniki but also gives you an idea of the Best Things To Do In Thessaloniki, which we feel is Greece's Hidden Gem. There is so much history in Thessaloniki,it's pretty unbelievable. While in Greece, we usually started off with our favourite breakfast which consisted of Greek Yogurt, honey, granola and fruit. We use strawberries as that is a local fruit that is grown in Greece and it's very good. Thessaloniki is a very nice walking City so in this video you'll see us going from place to place by foot. It's very easy to walk just wear decent walking shoes. Some of the restaurants in Thessaloniki are absolutely amazing. We have a pizza restaurant that we tried in this video called pizza Posellis which was to die for. We also give directions to one of the best bakeries in Thessaloniki and how to get there. We ended the night on a free boat ride that takes you all through the front area of Thessaloniki and allows you to see a gorgeous sunset. This boat ride is free just buy a drink or two on the boat.

Thessaloniki Beaches - Top 7 Best Beaches

Our Top 7 #Thessaloniki Beaches judged by distance from Thessaloniki, beach bars, sea quality & parking availability.

Distance from Thessaloniki - How far away it is and how easy it is to get to. Realistically the only beach you can get to without a car is Perea. If you are in Thessaloniki you can get to Perea by boat, takes around 50 minutes each way. You can do the bus but it takes around 1.5 hours and the buses can be super packed. Car is the best choice for all of the other beaches.

Beach Bars - How many, how much choice, only one is a bit dodgy, maybe you don't like the music! Presentation of the beach bars that are there also effects the score a little.

Sea quality - The reputation of the sea, ie how clean it is, I personally I would swim in every single beach in the list but I add the local opinion. Also includes the sea bed, ie if it is rocky, or sandy. If the beach has some rocks it gets a small downgrade in score.

Parking availability - This video was filmed in May 2019. Things are still quite, in June July August if you are going to these beaches on a weekend parking can become an issue. The rating I give reflect how long I think it will take you to find parking when you get there. Quality of the car park has a small effect on the score.
