Overview of your Thessaloniki tour:

The city's byzantine past was perhaps the most decisive for the years to come, and it lasted almost 1000 years. The suggested tour starts from the Trigonion Tower in the upper city. From there, we can take in the majestic view of the city and the byzantine walls and walk to the 14th c. Vlatadon Monastery, a picturesque place with important history. We visit the 5th c. Moni Latomou, hidden in the maze of the upper city, where we will be admiring one of the most important early Christian mosaic. At the 14th c. Church of Nikolaos Orfanos (open only on Mondays and Thursdays) we will admire works of Palaiologan art in all its glory; Or we can visit the Church of St Demetrius, which is famous for its mosaic panels and the crypt, the place where, according to tradition, the saint martyred and was buried. We will then visit the 4th c. Rotonda, with early christian mosaics of exquisites value. We'll finish our tour with a visit to the 7th c. Church of St Sophia, one of the most significant churches of Thessaloniki.

Your Thessaloniki tour itinerary

The suggested tour lasts 3-4 hours, but it may last longer or shorter depending on the breaks in between as needed. • Meeting at the Trigonion tower at 9:00 a. m. • Byzantine Walls • Moni Vlatadon • Moni Latomou • Church of St Nikolaos Orphanos (Mondays and Thursdays) or Church of St Demetrius (Rest of the week) • Rotonda (it is not open on Tuesdays) • Church of St. Sophia There are plenty more byzantine monuments that we can visit, so the tour can be adjusted to your preferences. Please bear in mind that since most of the churches are still in use, there are specific visiting dates and times for each of them, so we may not be able to visit some at a certain date. Please, feel free to ask me whatever questions you may have, or express your particular wishes and preferences for the tour. Don't forget that all my tours can be tailored to suit to your wishes, preferences, and circumstances.
