"As long as Thessaloniki exists, no one can ever feel like an outcast" (N. Choumnos, 14th-c) Hello, and welcome! My name is Panagiotis. I feel content that Thessaloniki—the most charming and hospitable city in Greece—has always been my home. After finishing high school, I decided to channel my passion for the past into studying History and Archaeology at Aristotle University, where I earned my BA. Today, as a fully licensed tour guide throughout Greece, I share the endless stories of my city with travelers who are fascinated by history, art, theology, architecture, and archaeology—or who are simply interested in exploring Thessaloniki through the eyes of a local. I offer a wide variety of tours—some of which you won’t find listed here on Tours by Locals. Whether you’re looking to explore the past, take an interesting walk through our vibrant neighborhoods, or follow culinary trails through Thessaloniki’s famous flavors, I would be more than happy to assist you. In just a few minutes or hours from Thessaloniki—Philippi, Beroea (Veria), Xanthi, Kastoria, Florina, Lake Kerkini, Meteora, Pella, Vergina, and many more—Northern Greece always offers pleasant surprises that meet all kinds of travelers' expectations. Feel free to get in touch with me and plan the perfect itinerary. Enjoy your stay in Greece! Credentials: • BA in History & Archaeology, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki • Licensed & Qualified Tourist Guide, University of the Aegean (Rhodes) • Certificate of Proficiency in English, University of Michigan • HeriQ Certificate in Heritage Storytelling, Quality Interpretation No restrictions.

Overview of your Thessaloniki tour

This is a great trip through time as we explore the historical treasures of Philippi and the charming coastal town of Kavala on this full-day tour from Thessaloniki. Immerse yourself in the ancient Greek and Roman culture, discover the significance of the place and indulge in the beauty of the Northern Greek landscape. Our adventure begins as we depart from Thessaloniki in the morning. Arrive at the ancient city of Philippi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its historical significance. We explore the well-preserved ruins, including the ancient theater, the Roman Forum, and the iconic Basilica of Saint Paul. Learn about the city's role in Roman and early Christian history, and hear captivating stories about Saint Paul's visit. Continue our trip to Lydia's Baptistery, the place where Paul baptized the first Europeans. Drive to the picturesque town of Kavala, nestled along the Aegean Sea. After lunch, we enjoy a short walk through the narrow streets of the Old Town or you spend some time on your own.
