To immerse yourself in the history of Ancient Greece, think of the Agora, the Arch and Rotunda of Galerius, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the ruins of the palace of Emperor Galerius. The Alexander the Great statue will be waiting for you at the Garden in the name of the ancient kingdom of Macedonia.

Then, the Heptapyrgion, the old Byzantine and Ottoman fortress located northeast of the Acropolis, will make you vibrate with the beauty of its architecture. In Thessaloniki, you can also go to the covered markets such as the steps of Modiano, Kapani, and Athonos to discover local specialties and fresh products and immerse yourself in the city's overall atmosphere. Do not miss a pleasant moment on the beaches of Halkidiki, especially in the warm waters of the Aegean Sea, a natural paradise in Greece. You will then move on to the archaeological sites of Pella and Aigai, which were previously the ancient capital of Macedonia.
