Top Macedonia Markets

Starting from the Pashas's Gardens one of the most famous and strange monument of city, we yearn to connect all places, spaces, streets, buildings, baths and market with the Ottoman whiff in the city. Walk around through in visible and invisible traces of the Ottoman stories, everyday life, religious rituals, traditions and great moments in the old flea markets. We walk in the Upper town and in the center of Thessaloniki and we visit and admire the city's Othoman monuments.

There’s no complete visit of Thessaloniki, if you haven’t tasted the local delicacies and visited the traditional food market in the city center. This walking tour lasts 4 hours with many breaks and photo stops. Take your time to enjoy it! It gives you a sample of the city’s famous snacks, coffee, sweets, meze, tsipouro schnapps. Everything is carefully planned for your own degustation, to see, visit, and shop in places the locals do. The stops and delicacies we try can be adjusted to your own taste and food preferences into a tailor-made tour for you. This food tour is better to be started not too early so that participants have some time after breakfast to get hungry! If you prefer to skip breakfast where you stay and have some during the tour, then earlier time can be privately arranged after the tour booking. This tour does not run on Sundays or public holidays, when the food market is closed.

Starting from the Monastiriotes Synagogue, the only pre-war synagogue in the city, we aspire to connect places, spaces, signs, streets, buildings, squares and markets with the Jewish presence in the city. Seeking the visible and invisible traces of the human stories, customs, religious rituals, traditions, great moments but also painful losses of the Holocaust, we walk in the center of Thessaloniki and we will visit the city’s Jewish Museum.
