Thessaloniki trip from Ohrid

If you want to travel a little further from Ohrid, we will go across the border and visit Thessaloniki. You will be able to visit this magnificent city, the second-largest in Greece, after the capital, Athens. In Thessaloniki, we can visit the Roman Rotunda, the White Tower (the city’s landmark), The Church of St. Demetrius – the city’s patron, The Archaeological Museum and the Byzantine Museum.

Built around the year 306 A.D. by the Romans, Rotunda is one of the oldest religious sites of the city. It was turned into a Christian temple around 400 A.D. The dimensions of the main structure are quite impressive.

The temple is a fine sample of Byzantine religious architecture of the 7th century A.D. Perhaps the most famous and interesting part of the temple, is the underground Ancient Crypt. It is a well-designed and restored ancient building that may surprise you because of its atmosphere and exhibits.

Due to the city’s rich Ancient Greek, Roman, and Byzantine history, the museum hosts a variety of exhibits. Beautiful samples of Roman architecture, unique colorful mosaics, sculptures and jewelry from the Greek Classical and Hellenistic period await you there. It is located in walking distance of some other interesting cites, so we can also visit some of them.

It is located right on the shore of the Aegean Sea, and it is the landmark of Thessaloniki. The tower was built in the 15th century in order to replace an older 12th-century Byzantine fortification. Today the tower is open to the public, and we may enjoy the inside informative museum or the top view of the Aegean Sea.
