Description:

Lose yourself in the ancient marketplaces and lively culture of Thessaloniki—the second-largest city in Greece—on this eclectic walking tour. Meet local artisans, breathe in the scent of fresh mint, and explore why this history-rich Greek city is a stunning blend of new and old.

Join your guide in bustling Aristotelous Square, lined with fragrant flower markets, Turkish baths, and prominent Byzantine architecture as you make your way to Thessaloniki’s atmospheric 12th-century, open-air markets. Pass stalls overflowing with colorful produce, shiny black olives, and freshly caught fish, all while your guide catches you up on the city’s historic market culture.

Your next stop brings you to a nearby market where you watch coppersmiths engage in the time-honored traditions of their craft before perusing antiques along lively Bit Pazar. Wind down your tour in the Ladadika district, and leisurely stroll the cobblestone streets flanked by restaurants, bars, and charming cafés.
