Thania (così mi sembra che si chiamava la guida) è stata veramente molto brava e carismatica,al mattino abbiamo fatto con lei il tour della parte romana ed ebraica della città,e subito abbiamo prenotato anche per il pomeriggio. Ma preparatevi ad inerpicarvi per le salite della città vecchia. La scalata vale l'impresa:si arriva ad un punto panoramico da cui vedere tutta Salonicco!

Tour muy interesante. Te da una visión de la ciudad completamente diferente a lo común. Ha sido clave para que la visita a Salonica merezca la pena. Muy buena guía.

Thenia is such an energetic and fun guru. Ev though we got some rain, she managed to make excitement out of it. I enjoyed the stories (real and legends) behind the spots she took us.

I will definitely recommend going on this tour as the Upper city is quite steep and convoluted - walking its streets with a local is very good support. As a bonus, you get to hear all the interesting stories and legends the town was built upon.
