The Icon of Thessaloniki
Along the historic waterfront stands an iconic structure known as the White Tower, the undisputed symbol of Thessaloniki. Originally built by the Ottomans as a fortification and later used as a notorious prison, it has been transformed into a museum celebrating the city's rich history. Today, visitors can climb its winding stairs for a spectacular panoramic view of the Thermaic Gulf and the bustling promenade below.
