Mirë të Dini

Yes — a joint ticket covering both neighbouring museums is usually available and is the best value if you visit both.

It's the best place to make sense of Thessaloniki's Byzantine heritage, tracing that world across eleven thematic galleries of mosaics, icons, frescoes and everyday objects. In 2005 it became the first Greek museum to win the Council of Europe Museum Prize, and it's housed in a celebrated modern building by the architect Kyriakos Krokos.

Modern (1962)

Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki

The leading museum of Macedonian antiquity, famous for its Hellenistic gold — including the dazzling Derveni Krater and the Derveni papyrus, a 4th-century-BC scroll that UNESCO's Memory of the World register lists as the oldest surviving book in Europe.

Modern (1968)

OTE Tower

Thessaloniki's 76-metre landmark tower on the Thessaloniki International Fair grounds — built in the late 1960s, on the site where Greece's first television broadcast took place at the 1960 Fair — crowned by a revolving café-bar that turns a full circle roughly once an hour for 360° views over the city, the seafront and the Thermaic Gulf. Picked out in colour after dark, its tiered silhouette is one of the modern skyline's most recognisable shapes.

Modern (opened 2000)

War Museum of Thessaloniki

A compact military-history museum in a restored early-1900s army building, tracing Greece's modern wars through uniforms, weapons, war art, maps and photographs — with an outdoor forecourt of tanks and a fighter jet. Its focus fits the city perfectly: Thessaloniki was the great Allied base of the First World War's Macedonian Front.
