Our guide Dimitres was an excellent guide the tour

S
Sandra Shachar – United States

We had an excellent guide, Lisa, who shared the remarkable history of Thessaloniki Jews as the majority population of this amazing city prior to WWII, before their near extinction via mass murder by the Nazis during the Holocaust. With great resilience and determination the survivors returned to their homeland and continue to this day rebuilding the community and telling the story as a lesson for new generations to stand up and speak out against hatred and bigotry, choosing life and liberty instead.

Full description

A tour through the heart of the city that once housed Europe's largest Sephardic Jewish community! All there is to see in the city known as "Madre de Israel" for nearly 500 years, Salonica remains irresistibly lovely even today.

Visit the Monastirioton Synagogue, one of the oldest and most important synagogues in Thessaloniki. Learn about its history, architecture, and significance in the Jewish community. Hear stories of the Jews who used to live and worship in the area.

Explore the Jewish Museum of Thessaloniki, which houses a rich collection of artifacts and documents related to the city's Jewish community. Get insights into the impact of the Holocaust on the city's Jewish population.

Visit the Yad Lezikaron Synagogue, which was opened in 1984, dedicated to the memory of the victims of the Holocaust.

See the Holocaust Memorial, which features the names of over 50,000 Jews from Thessaloniki who perished in the Holocaust.

Take a stroll through the Modiano Market, a bustling marketplace that was once the center of the city's Jewish Quarter. Explore the narrow streets and alleys of the Jewish Quarter, which was home to a vibrant and thriving Jewish community for centuries.

We had a wonderful tour with Maria who is very knowledgeable about all the history of the different populations in Thessaloniki over the years. Maria organized the tour to make best use of time and we visited all the sites we wanted and more. Our driver was very sweet and the minivan was clean and comfortable. We felt Maria went out of her way to show us many parts of the city , and we appreciated her efforts. Overall we had a excellent time and learned much.
