Overview

Thessaloniki has numerous early Christian and Byzantine monuments protected by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites. This is a walking tour we explore the rich cultural and religious heritage of this unique city, its tiny or larger churches hidden almost everywhere. Many of them are decorated with mosaics and frescoes still preserved dating back from the 5th to the 14th century. Starting from the top of the hill with the Byzantine-time Acropolis, walking along the city walls, we continue to various churches in the city center. We visit UNESCO monuments, mostly churches, with no admission fee required, besides the Rotonda entrance ticket which is not included in the tour fees. Taxi drives are not included in the tour fees to/from the Acropolis/Upper Town. This guided tour can be done on all days - except Tuesdays.

Wonderful UNESCO tour sites at Thessaloniki

Published on May, 2024

Efi is very professional and we covered a lot during our 4 hour tour. Visited several unesco sites , monastery , churches, city wall . We even enjoyed delicious triangle cream sweets exclusive to this area. Efi also was kind enough to assist with our transport to airport for the next day. Thank you.

Fantastic tour!

Efi was an amazing tour guide! So much knowledge and engaging personality. She asked us what we would like to emphasize in our tour, and accommodated our interests. She was friendly and shared lots of stories as well! highly recommend!

Great walking tour of Thessaloniki

Really enjoyed the Tour with Efi. She was very knowledgeable about the history of the city and took us to some places that I am sure we would have missed on our own. Thoroughly recommend.

Excellent historical tour of Thessaloniki

Efi was a very helpful, friendly and knowledgable guide who went out of her way to make sure that we felt welcome upon our arrival in Thessaloniki. You definitely get the feeling that she has a passion for history and loves her city. Highly recommended!

Thessaloniki from a native's educated perspective

Published on Apr, 2023

My husband and I (able-bodied and in our mid-60's) greatly appreciated Efi's experienced approach to showing her city and her country to interested visitors. My husband and Efi exchanged a number of emails to let her know what our particular interests were. I think that pre-tour conversation was helpful. We took two tours with Efi. The first was a 4 (or 5?) hour walking tour of Thessaloniki. We were interested in local Jewish history as well as learning about many of the other peoples and cultures who have made Thessaloniki such a mosaic. So our walking tour reflected that interest as well as visiting Ancient Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman sites. I never felt like we were going too fast or too slow. This tour was not only informative historically, but it also helped us get oriented to where the open air markets and great restaurants are. It made the rest of our stay (a week) in the city easier. Efi is very extremely knowledgeable, delivers information at a manageable pace, answers questions and was attentive to our comfort (stopping for food, coffee and bathroom breaks. She is enthusiastic about helping people connect with the region, the people and the incredible cuisine! Next, Efi took us to Virgina (a 6 hour tour with a driver) where we visited Phillip II's (and other ancients) excellently excavated burial grounds and the recently opened museum. We had time for conversation about the ancient history and current significance of this region as we drove there and back. I really loved our week in Thessaloniki and I believe Efi contributed to that experience. We would be happy to go on another tour with her (maybe Meteora? maybe Komotini?) when we are lucky enough to return to Greece!
