Thessaloniki City

Thessaloniki's coastal charm begins with its iconic Λευκός Πύργος (White Tower), a symbol of the city. This 19th-century fortress offers panoramic views of the Thermaikos Gulf and the bustling port. Nearby, the Παλιά Πόλη (Old Town) blends Ottoman architecture with modern cafes, perfect for leisurely strolls. For a peaceful escape, head to Γουδί Μεταμορφώσεως (Gouidi Metamorphosis), where the sea meets golden sands and ancient ruins. Don't miss the Συνέδριο Πελοποννήσου (Peloponnese Symposium) if visiting in summer—local artists showcase work along the waterfront.
