Itinerary

1. Trigonion Tower

   The Trigonion Tower is also known as Thessaloniki's balcony. It provides an excellent view of the city's acropolis. In addition, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of the old city and the Gulf of Thermaikos. On clear days, visitors can see Mount Olympus 150 kilometers away. Trigoniou Tower, Thessaloniki.

   · 20 min

2. Vlatadon Monastery

   During a full-day tour of Thessaloniki, a stop at Moni Vlatadon (Vlatadon Monastery) is one of the most memorable moments. Tucked into the quiet Upper Town, the 14th-century Byzantine monastery sits on a hillside just inside the old city walls and is believed to mark the exact spot where Saint Paul preached to the Thessalonians in 51 AD. A simple stone inside the small church is traditionally said to be where the apostle stood. You arrive after a short drive from the city centre, and the reward is immediate: sweeping panoramic views over the rooftops, the Thermaic Gulf, and – on clear days – all the way to Mount Olympus. The main church, dedicated to the Transfiguration, is beautifully decorated with well-preserved frescoes, and the whole place feels calm and lived-in because it is still an active monastery belonging to the Ecumenical Patriarchate. Modest dress is required (shoulders and knees covered).

4. The Greek Agora and Roman Forum

   During a full-day tour of Thessaloniki, a stop at the Roman Forum (also known as the Ancient Agora) is a fascinating step back into the city’s Roman era. Right in the heart of the modern centre, at the junction of Olympou and Filippou streets, this large open-air archaeological site was once the bustling commercial, political and social hub of Roman Thessaloniki, with its main buildings constructed in the 2nd century AD.
