What people are saying about Thessaloniki

Nice archaeological site. It is a pity that the tombs cannot be visited internally. I had already gone, maybe 20 years ago, and it seemed to me they were accessible.

Vergina is wonderful. I didn't think I would see so many incredible exhibits. I suggest you go if you visit Thessaloniki and take the audio tour.

The tower has no exhibits but you will learn the history of the city. It is a very beautiful building and the audio tour was helpful.

My child loved it! The staff was excellent, very friendly and helpful!!

Ottima esperienza per trascorrere 30 minuti in un mondo di illusioni!
