The history of the city , presented in a fascinating way, and a breathtaking view at the top. Ask for a free audio guide if you can't understand Greek.

George Gdysis

A must visit! The ticket is cheap , and you enter for free if you are a student. You get to know all of Thessaloniki's history, plus the view on the top of the tower is stunning!

Fation Ceka

The boats-cafes offer a great view of the city and the white tower . The best time to get in for a ride is during sunset . Get there a little early to get the tables with the best view .

Nir Stormtrooper

Beside taking a tour around the tower, I recommend taking a boat tour around the shoreline and view the tower from the water front

Haralan Dobrev

Inside the tower there is a great museum about the history of Thessaloniki . Get a free audio guide in English, everything inside is in Greek.

Aylin Alpustun

By the waterfront , it is THE meeting place with so much going on around it. I did not feel like climbing the stairs so did not go up. I am sure the view is spectacular,

Firtst site to visit when u step foot in Thessaloniki.A modern approach of the past with lots of information that will keep u interested all the way.The atmosphere is unique and the view priceless!!

Dan Millard

The iconic tower is worth the entrance fee for the view from the top alone. The actual exhibition is a bit strange, and worth taking a local language audio guide as is only in Greek.

Chris Pan ✏️

Before housing the museum dedicated to the history of Thessaloniki and being one of the city 's leading attraction , the White tower was used by the ottomans successively as a fort, garrison & a prison .

History of Thessaloniki into five levels! Ask for audio guide - it's for free! ????

There are boats in front of the tower. No entrance fee for the boats but paying only what you have during the tour . It takes around half an hour. Prices aren't very different from other bars or cafes .

Will Belford

Visit the city 's most important historic site , which was used as a prison by the Ottomans , when the city was under their control. The view is breathtaking up there.

Dimitris Kotsios

One of the best places in Greece to walk!! Take some rest here and enjoy the view and the sea !!

From the 17th century and named after Fort informally Kalamaria / Kelemeriye Kal'asi. After the dissolution of the Order of the Janissaries in 1826 acquired the name Kanli-Kule, ie Tower of Blood

Visit the monument . It worths spending some time learning about the history of the town . The view will pay u off.

Take the sightseeing bus from here... it's not that long & worth the far off drop offs. Takes you all the way to Ana Poli.

Nondas K

The interactive displays are a bit of an acquired taste. Try the Archeological Museum or the Byzantine Museum for a better experience.

Visit Greece

The weather is perfect. Don't miss the opportunity of a walk from the White Tower through the waterfront until the Aristotelous' square.

Mohammed Gamal

Nice view on top. Exhibitions need to be multilingual though, since audio guides usually provide only abridged information

The café atop must open again. Beautiful view day and night. Iconic and nostalgic.
