3.Half Day Food and Walking Tour with Tastings in Thessaloniki

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 41 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $91

This three-hour English tour starts at Electra Palace Thessaloniki and visits Kapani, Modiano, and Athonos markets, with generous tastings of bougatsa, soutzoukaki, cheese, ouzo, coffee, and local sweets. Guides including Maria, Konstantina, Kostas, and Thomas add food and city history.

“What a great tour! We found our way no problem to the meet up spot from the cruise ship. It was all very organized. Since there were 15 people signed up, they split us into two groups, so we ended up having 9 people in our group. Our guide, Maria, was an absolute delight and all the food was amazing and plentiful. We highly recommend this tour! The pace was perfect - not at all rushed but we managed to experience so many different Greek specialties. Such a fun way to experience the city life! Maria followed up with an email, explaining all the things we had tasted. That was…”

4.Thessaloniki Walking Tour: Explore Top Sights & Hidden Gems

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 39 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $35

Walk Thessaloniki with an English-speaking guide from the White Tower to Modiano Market, Ladadika, and Valaoritou. You’ll see Roman and Byzantine landmarks, waterfront views, local food districts, and modern city life in a small group of up to 15 people. Giorgos and Fenia have both led this route.

“Brilliant tour! Giorgos was our charming guide and he was great! Took us to all the must see sights in an easy walk; told us about them entertainingly and listened to the group, so we choose to go inside a couple of churches. One very minor feedback - it would be good to try and stop in shade and/or where there were seats. We enjoyed Giorgos’ company so much we - the group - had lunch with him and he ordered and told us about traditional Greek food. The meal was one of the best we’ve had in Greece! Thank you so much!”

Thessaloniki: Self-Guided Audio Walking Tour & Narrative

5.Self-Guided Audio Walking Tour & Narrative

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 28 reviews · 365 days · from $9Best value

Use the Clio Muse app to follow an English audio walk from the Statue of Alexander the Great to Thessaloniki’s harbor. You’ll hear short stories about Kamara, the Rotunda, the White Tower, Hagia Sophia, Ataturk Museum, Heptapyrgion, and Bezesteni Market. Download the offline tour before setting out.

“The only positive was it was easy to download. Otherwise, it was a complete waste of time and money. Each stop had only a minute or two of very basic content a simple google could have provided. There was no indication when the audio for one stop ended and a new one started other than watching your phone to when it advanced to the next topic. The stops were often not in a logical order, forcing you to backtrack to where you had previously been - would have been ok if there was a narrative reason, but there wasn’t as each stop was just a couple facts with no broader…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 27 reviews · 3 hours · from $70

Spend three hours walking central Thessaloniki with an English-speaking local guide, often Nikos, from the White Tower through the Galerian Complex, Acheiropoietos, Roman Forum, and St Demetrios. Expect layered history, adaptable storytelling, and entrance fees paid separately.

“We had the " chance" of doing this walking tour by continuous rain and appreciated it so much that we never even had the idea to give up because our guide , Nikos, was extraordinary in making us discover some of the most beautiful and meaningful places of Thessaloniki accompanied by his enthusiastic and very professional exposure of its long history! Thank you again, Niko! Highly recommended!!!”
