Thessaloniki historical center

Thessaloniki – The cosmopolitan sister of Alexander the Great

Greece is an amazing country with a lot of destinations to explore. Northern Greece is the land of the ancient Macedonian kingdom, where Alexander the Great took his first lessons in battle fighting and prepared to extend his glorious civilization.

Thessaloniki was Alexander’s sister. The city was named after her by Kassandros, Thessaloniki’s husband who wanted to honour her. According to the legend, after her brother’s death, she turned into a mermaid and lived in the Aegean Sea. The history of the city begins at 315 BC.

The White Tower of Thessaloniki is a monument and museum on the waterfront of the city. The present tower replaced an old Byzantine fortification which was constructed around the 12th century and reconstructed by the Ottomans to fortify the city's harbor. It became a notorious prison and scene of mass executions during the period of Ottoman rule. It has been adopted ever since as the symbol of the city and the starting point for the tour of Thessaloniki.

The starting point is the White Tower (No1 on the map above). There are only busses and taxis to use for public transportation.
