Named after the sister of Alexander the Great, the city was founded as the major port of the Macedonian kingdom. It was the historic meeting point of five different cultures: the Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman and Jewish, which despite some turbulent encounters merged and flourished peacefully, creating a truly cosmopolitan city in South East Europe, with a population today of more than one million people.<\/p>\n<p>The second largest city of Greece, Thessaloniki is famous for its lively streets, vibrant night life and cultural signature. It is the perfect cosmopolitan destination for any visitor.<\/p>\n<p>Thessaloniki also has a mystical atmosphere, emphasized by the enduring symbols of its long history, from the White Tower on its cafe-lined waterfront all the way up to the Byzantine walls, just above Ano Poli (the Upper Town), an enchanting neighbourhood of pretty traditional houses set on winding, peaceful alleyways.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Commercial and Business Centre<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-590 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ihu.gr\/ucips\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/01\/nikis-300x207.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ihu.gr\/ucips\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/01\/nikis-200x138.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.ihu.gr\/ucips\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/01\/nikis-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ihu.gr\/ucips\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/01\/nikis-400x275.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.ihu.gr\/ucips\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/01\/nikis.jpg 591w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The city boasts a busy commercial port, which functions as a gateway to SE Europe for cargo from the Far East.

It was built in the 15th century as part of the city&#8217;s seafortifications and it has become the most recognised landmark of Thessaloniki. During the Ottoman occupation it became a symbol of terror because of the gruesome executions of prisoners that took place there. After the city&#8217;s liberation in 1912, the tower was whitewashed as if to purify it from the blood with which it was so often stained, hence the name &#8220;White Tower&#8221;. The Tower houses the &#8220;Museum of History and Art of Thessaloniki&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Rotunda <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ihu.gr\/ucips\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/01\/rotunda-300x193.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ihu.gr\/ucips\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/01\/rotunda-200x129.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.ihu.gr\/ucips\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/01\/rotunda-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ihu.gr\/ucips\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/01\/rotunda-400x257.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.ihu.gr\/ucips\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/01\/rotunda-460x295.jpg 460w, https:\/\/www.ihu.gr\/ucips\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/01\/rotunda.jpg 591w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>A circular building erected in A.D. 306 as the Pantheon or Mausoleum of the Roman Emperor Galerius.

Today, visitors to the site can see part of the fortification of the city, the gymnasium, private houses and early Christian basilicas. However, the most famous monument of the region is the \u201cAmphipolis Lion\u201d, a marble and probably funerary monument of the 4<sup>th<\/sup> century BC. Amphipolis has also a very interesting Archaeological Museum, which contains many items related to the history and civilisation of the site, dating from prehistoric times down to the Byzantine period.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"nav fusion-mobile-tab-nav\"><ul class=\"nav-tabs\" role=\"tablist\"><li role=\"presentation\"><a class=\"tab-link\" data-toggle=\"tab\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"tab-01ada79ef66b4a73a3c\" aria-selected=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\" id=\"mobile-fusion-tab-nightlife\" href=\"#tab-01ada79ef66b4a73a3c\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\">Nightlife<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"tab-pane fade fusion-clearfix\" role=\"tabpanel\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-labelledby=\"fusion-tab-nightlife\" id=\"tab-01ada79ef66b4a73a3c\">\n<h3>Nightlife<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-609 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ihu.gr\/ucips\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/01\/nightlife-1-white-tower.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ihu.gr\/ucips\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/01\/nightlife-1-white-tower-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.ihu.gr\/ucips\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/01\/nightlife-1-white-tower.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/> Thessaloniki offers all kinds of entertainment and is renowned for its good food and &#8220;mezedes&#8221; (dishes of food accompanying drinks).<\/p>\n<p>The youthful spirit of the city, which hosts many elegant restaurants and a multitude of &#8220;ouzeries&#8221; and taverns, is to be found both in the city and the suburbs.
