White Tower

  Rising prominently along the waterfront of Thessaloniki, the White Tower is a historic monument that dates back to the late 15th century. Originally built as a fortification, this cylindrical structure stands 32 meters tall and served various roles, including a watchtower and a prison. Visitors can wander around its six levels, where exhibits on the city’s history and culture are showcased, making it a valuable educational stop. If you swing by during the summer months, typically from June to September, the nearby promenade bustles with activity, offering a lively atmosphere. From the top, you can enjoy panoramic views of the Thermaic Gulf and the vibrant city, making it a perfect photo opportunity.
