Thessaloniki is a mosaic of Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman history set against the Thermaic Gulf. Its skyline is punctuated by the 4th-century Rotunda and the towering White Tower, while its UNESCO-listed Paleo-Christian churches house some of the world’s finest medieval mosaics. The city’s heritage is a blend of imperial grandeur and Sephardic Jewish history, preserved in the vaulted ceilings of the Bezesteni market and the ruins of the Galerius Palace.
