This is one of my favorite spots in the city!! Constructed in 1444 by Murda II, Bey Hamam is an Ottoman Bathhouse. It is located east of Panagia Chalkeon on Egnatia Street.

Bey Hamam

Built in 1444, Bey Hamam is the oldest off all the Ottoman baths in Thessaloniki and one of the most important buildings that integrate Ottoman architecture. It is located in the center of the city north of Aristotelous Plaza right across the paleo-christian temple of “Panagia Halkeon”.

Is Thessaloniki walkable for a whole weekend trip?

It’s been a while since I last visited Thessaloniki, and I’m considering bringing my family there for a weekend this summer. We’ll be a multigenerational group, parents in their 70s, my wife and me, and two teens — so I’m trying to figure out how walkable the city really is these days.

From what I remember, the waterfront promenade was perfect for long, easy walks, but I can’t recall how manageable the rest of the city felt, especially when the summer heat kicks in. Are most major sights (White Tower, Ano Poli, markets, museums) close enough to each other to explore on foot without wearing everyone out?

Also curious whether public transport or taxis are convenient enough to fill the gaps if walking becomes too much for the older members of the group.

For anyone who’s been recently, is a mostly walkable weekend realistic for a family like ours?

How many days do you really need to see Thessaloniki well?

I’ve read so many different opinions — some say you can see the main sights in a quick weekend, while others insist you need nearly a week to really get the feel of the city. I’m leaning toward spending 3–4 days, but I don’t want to rush it if Thessaloniki deserves more time.

Between the historical sites, the food scene, the waterfront walks, and exploring places like Ano Poli and the markets, it sounds like there’s a lot to take in. I’d also love a relaxed coffee culture experience — sitting by the sea or people-watching in Aristotelous Square.

If you’ve been, how long did you stay, and did it feel like enough? Would you have added another day or two? And are there any day trips nearby that are worth factoring into the schedule?

Solo Travel - 3 Days in Thessaloniki

I’ll be traveling to Thessaloniki by myself for work, but I’ve managed to carve out three extra days to explore the city! Since it’ll be my first time there, I’d love some advice on must-see sights, great local restaurants, and solo-friendly activities.

I’m definitely planning to check out the White Tower, Ano Poli, and Aristotelous Square, but what else should I add to my list? I’d love to experience authentic Greek food, so any recommendations for great tavernas or brunch spots would be amazing!

Also, is the city easy to navigate on foot, or should I rely on public transport? Any hidden gems or off-the-beaten-path experiences you’d recommend for a solo traveler?

Is the Rotunda open to the public right now?

Does anyone know if the Rotunda is currently open to the public? I’ll be in Thessaloniki soon and really want to visit it. It’s one of those places that completely captures the city’s layered history. I’ve read that it’s alternated between being used as a Roman mausoleum, a Christian church, and later a mosque, which makes it one of the most fascinating monuments in Greece.

I’ve seen some recent mentions online about restoration work and limited visiting hours, but the information isn’t consistent. I’d love to go inside and see the mosaics up close if it’s possible.

If anyone’s been recently, can you share what the current schedule or entry process is like? Do tickets need to be booked in advance, or can you just show up? And is it still part of the unified archaeological ticket?

Viewing the Sunset in Thessaloniki?

Hi everyone! I'm planning a trip to Thessaloniki and would love your recommendations on the best spots to watch the sunset.

I've heard the city offers some stunning views as the sun dips over the Thermaic Gulf. Whether it's a peaceful spot for reflection or a lively area with a vibrant atmosphere, I'm open to all suggestions.

If you have any favorite locations, tips on the best times to go, or even advice on capturing the perfect sunset photo, please share! Thanks in advance for your insights.
