A jewish tour in Thessaloniki is a challenging task since many of the visible urban traces have been lost. However, there are endless stories and forgotten buildings and landmarks, helping to form a narrative which attempts to bring to light the long but tragic history of Thessaloniki's Jewish Community. The suggested tour starts at Freedom Square, where we will see the monument commemorating the city's murdered Jews. Then, we will visit the Jewish Museum of Thessaloniki which, among other things, houses tombstones from the destroyed Jewish Cemetery, and the only existing collection of surviving prewar family and school photographs. We will then stroll around the area of Aristotelous square (one of the largest jewish neighborhoods was located here), and we will visit important buildings of jewish legacy: The old La Banque de Salonique, The Modiano Market. We will end this tour at the Monastirioton Synagogue, the city's only synagogue that survived the Second World War.
The tour lasts about 3-4 hours depending on the pace and the breaks. • Monastirioton Sunagogue (we must call for a meeting in order to enter the Sunagogue); • Aristotelous Square; • Modiano Market; • Bank of Thessaloniki; • Electra Palace (here, it was the Alliance Israelite Universelle school before the Second World War); • The Jewish Museum; • The Freedom Square; Of course, I can customise this standard Jewish Tour to your particular wishes and preferences. . There are many other landmarks that we can visit, such as The Railway Station, The old Jewish Cemetery, the building where "Anne Frank of Thessaloniki" was hiding, The Villa Allatini, and The Casa Bianca, among many others.
