We passed by this white tower several times when we stayed in Thessaloniki (only in passing), now we went on a tour. Honestly, I liked the view from the top of the tower the most, a great experience and great photos. Certainly, we have interesting stories on the floors, mostly all written under the photos in Greek. There is a possibility to listen in several other languages.

Once you get to the top the view of the ci...

The White Tower is a symbol of the city and for just 6 euro you can enter and visit both a fortification and a museum! Stunning Tower with plenty of rooms inside, perfect stairs, and it offers scenic views of the city! We loved exploring and taking beautiful shots of this awesome structure that served both the Ottomans and Byzantines!

When is the best time to visit White Tower of Thessaloniki (Thessaloniki, Greece)?

Summer brings a cool sea breeze along the promenade; plan visits in morning or late afternoon to avoid midday sun. In winter, strong winds can chill babies—dress them in layers and use café terraces for shelter.
