Walking Tour Advice Thessaloniki

[kosta_karapinotis]

I’m planning a trip to Thessaloniki soon and would love to explore the city on foot to really soak in its history and culture. I’ve heard a lot about the vibrant atmosphere and the rich blend of ancient and modern sights. Does anyone have recommendations for the best walking tours or routes to take?

I'm especially interested in seeing key historical sites like the White Tower, Rotunda, and the Byzantine walls, but I’m also keen on discovering some hidden gems and local spots that aren’t too touristy. Are there any guided tours you’d recommend, or is it easy enough to navigate on my own?

Thessaloniki is a great city to explore on foot! You’ll love how easy it is to soak up the rich history and culture while wandering around. For a self-guided route, starting at the White Tower and walking up through the waterfront to Aristotelous Square is a must. From there, head toward the Rotunda and the Arch of Galerius before making your way up to the Byzantine Walls, where you’ll get amazing views of the city.
