Activity itinerary

Modiano Market

  • 30m
Begin your tour at the recently restored Modiano Market, where Jewish heritage meets modern flavours. Sample a warm bougatsa pastry or crunchy koulouri bread ring, and learn why locals still shop at family-run stalls.

The Kapani (Vlali) Market

  • 30m
Continue to Kapani Market, Thessaloniki’s oldest open-air market. Here, taste local cheeses, olives, and cured meats, and discover how Ottoman and Balkan influences shaped the city’s palate.

Athonos Square

  • 30m
A short walk brings you to Athonos Square, a traditional gathering spot tucked behind Aristotelous Square. In its tavernas, enjoy a meze plate—perhaps dolmadakia, fried aubergine, or tzatziki—paired with a glass of ouzo or retsina.

Ladadika District

  • 30m
From there, follow your guide into the Ladadika district, once a bustling merchant hub, now a lively food quarter. Relax with seafood meze and a glass of tsipouro or local wine, soaking in the atmosphere of this historic area.

Ataturk Museum

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Finally, visit the Atatürk Museum, the birthplace of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, founder of modern Turkey. This elegant Ottoman-era home connects the shared heritage of Thessaloniki and Istanbul, adding a cross-cultural dimension to your experience. End your tour with a sweet treat of Trigona Panoramatos or loukoumades (cream-filled phyllo triangles) or golden loukoumades drizzled with honey, symbolising the city’s love of pastries and tradition.
