November 30, 2024: After endless delays, heated debates, and significant missteps, twelve Thessaloniki's Underground Metro Stations finally opened their doors to the public. During the excavations, over 300,000 artifacts, including around 4,000 tombs, were uncovered. 2,300 years of history unfolded before our eyes! On this tour, we visit the three metro stations which reveal the “city beneath the city”. We see the remarkable discoveries made by the archaeologists during the Metro’s construction and reflect on the huge opportunity the city missed to preserve more underground sites. How do locals feel after years of waiting? How do we view the balance between modernization and preserving Thessaloniki’s heritage? What does the future hold for a city at the crossroads of history and progress? These are just some of the questions we will seek to answer as we uncover this unique chapter in Thessaloniki's story.
