    Overview

    Walk through the layered history of Thessaloniki on an interactive, expert-led guided tour at the city's historic center and take home our exclusive “2,300-year-old Lady” marble coaster!

    Roman remains, Byzantine churches, Ottoman monuments and lively markets reveal the cultures that have shaped the city. Over 2.5 hours, our licensed guide connects the dots through stories, puzzles and details you might otherwise walk past. With up to 10 participants, there is room for questions and conversation.

    Along the way, taste a local delicacy and experience another side of Thessaloniki’s story.

    Take that story home with our exclusive “A 2,300-year-old Lady” marble coaster, included in your ticket. Designed for Dot2Dot with We Are Synthetic and crafted in Thessaloniki from white Thassos marble, it reflects the city as we see it.
