Activity itinerary

Port of Thessaloniki

Once you’re picked up at the port, you’ll meet your English-speaking guide and continue in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle to explore the city.

White Tower of Thessaloniki

The tour begins at the White Tower, Thessaloniki’s signature monument on the waterfront. Formerly a defensive fort, it now symbolises the city’s history. You’ll view the tower from the outside and enjoy the nearby seaside sights, including the Statue of Alexander the Great.

Arch of Galerius

30m
Admission ticket not included

Next, you’ll visit the Arch of Galerius, a 4th-century Roman structure decorated with detailed carvings celebrating Emperor Galerius’ victory over the Persians. A short walk from the arch is the Rotonda, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the oldest surviving Christian buildings. You’ll view this impressive monument from the outside.

Church of Saint Dimitrios - Patron of Thessaloniki

Your next stop is St. Demetrius Church, a key Byzantine monument honouring Thessaloniki’s patron saint. From the entrance, you can admire its architecture and the mosaics that make it a popular pilgrimage site. You may also step inside if you wish to explore further.

Eptapyrgio Castle

40m
Admission ticket not included

Continue to Ano Poli (Upper City) to explore the Eptapyrgio Fortress and the historic city walls. Built in the Byzantine period, they provide great panoramic views of Thessaloniki and the Thermaic Gulf. Take a walk along the walls and enjoy the quiet atmosphere and historic setting.

The Greek Agora and Roman Forum

15m
Admission ticket not included

Head back to the city centre to explore the Roman Forum, an open-air site that served as the heart of ancient Thessaloniki. As you follow the walkway around it, you’ll see the preserved ruins and get a look into the city’s past.

Aristotelous Square

1h 30m

Finish your tour in the lively city centre at Aristotelous Square, Thessaloniki’s main meeting point. From here, you can walk through busy shopping streets, browse local boutiques, or relax at a café. If you’re ready for a meal, this area offers plenty of places to try authentic Greek dishes. The final stop includes a 30-minute walk.

Port of Thessaloniki

After your free time at Aristotelous Square, your guide will walk you back to the port. It’s only a short stroll from the square, so you’ll be back at your ship in just a few minutes.
