About Thessaloniki
Thessaloniki is the second-largest city in Greece, a coastal metropolis on the Thermaic Gulf and the closest large foreign destination for the people of Macedonia. The city has a long history, from antiquity through the Byzantine and Ottoman periods, visible in the White Tower, the Rotunda and the many UNESCO-protected churches. For Macedonian travellers Thessaloniki is a favourite place for a weekend, shopping and trips throughout the year, a short drive across the border. The climate is Mediterranean, with hot summers and mild winters, so the city is pleasant to visit almost all year round, and best for walking in spring and autumn.
What to See in Thessaloniki
- The White Tower on the waterfront
- The Rotunda and the Arch of Galerius
- Aristotelous Square
- The Byzantine churches under UNESCO protection
