Highlights
At first glance, Thessaloniki can seem to tell the single story of a bustling modern Greek city. Step into the markets, though, and another city – and narrative – begins to appear. Traces of its Ottoman past remain in the street plan, the memory of Sephardic Jewish commercial life still shapes the old market grid, and the food carries the marks of Asia Minor, the Balkans, Pontus, and the Caucasus.

About Thessaloniki
Thessaloniki, Greece's second city, is a Byzantine and Ottoman port on the Aegean, with a waterfront tower, Roman monuments and excellent street food.
Thessaloniki was founded in 315 BC and became one of the main cities of the Roman and Byzantine worlds. The White Tower stands on the waterfront promenade, a rounded Ottoman-era tower that is now the city's emblem, and the Rotunda and the Arch of Galerius recall the Roman ruler who made the city his base. The early Christian and Byzantine churches, among them Agios Dimitrios, are listed by UNESCO.
Top-ranked sights in Thessaloniki: White Tower (Lefkos Pyrgos), Aristotelous Square, Church and Crypt of Ayios Dimitrios.
