WEDNESDAY 08.30-17:30
Roads full of monuments. Monuments full of stories about emperors, gods and mortals, wars and disasters, victories and feasts. A city of many faces – sometimes with a friendly smile, sometimes with an introvert frown, and some other times with an awkward pose as she stands in front of her historical significance and glorious 23-century past. In this unique, alternative walking tour, we discover every period of the city’s history – from Roman times to present day – through a kaleidoscope of monuments and landmarks that mark the ever-present timeline of a multicultural metropolis.
Thessaloniki is the co- capital of Greece and its famous as a cultural and entertaining place for every taste. We will visit the vizantian church of Agios Demetrios, the Aristotelous square and the White tower, the landmark of the city. Plenty of free time for shopping downtown.
