Vlatadon Monastery
During a full-day tour of Thessaloniki, a stop at Moni Vlatadon (Vlatadon Monastery) is one of the most memorable moments. Tucked into the quiet Upper Town, the 14th-century Byzantine monastery sits on a hillside just inside the old city walls and is believed to mark the exact spot where Saint Paul preached to the Thessalonians in 51 AD. A simple stone inside the small church is traditionally said to be where the apostle stood. You arrive after a short drive from the city centre, and the reward is immediate: sweeping panoramic views over the rooftops, the Thermaic Gulf, and – on clear days – all the way to Mount Olympus. The main church, dedicated to the Transfiguration, is beautifully decorated with well-preserved frescoes, and the whole place feels calm and lived-in because it is still an active monastery belonging to the Ecumenical Patriarchate. Modest dress is required (shoulders and knees covered).

A great 1st day orientation!
We had a great time with Yannis and he accommodated us as over-tired, exhausted 1st day travelers! His love of his city and Greece in total is evident an he made sure we saw the attractions up close and personally! He also provided great suggestions for restaurants and other locations! We enjoyed him so much we booked another private tour with him in place of another group tour! Bravo Yannis!

This Thessaloniki tour gives you the highlights of the city
Yannis was an excellent tour guide. He has passion for his hometown of Thessaloniki, and explained the transitions the town went through in its long history, from Its Macedonian roots to its Christian era and Ottoman control. He was able to answer many questions, and brought us to places of interest, including The Rotunda, White Tower, the Church of Demetrios (definitely worth seeing), the coastline with state of Alexander the Great, Artistotle and St Paul's connection to Thessaloniki, as well as the Arch of Galerius. We thoroughly enjoyed this excursion. One note: make sure you know where pick-up is. The app had us walking around the port instead of sending us directly to the pick-up location. Luckily, Yannis was quick to answer our phone call and came to pick us up when we got lost.

Response from the operator: My dear Mairilyn, it was such a beautiful day with you and i am so happy for your kind words. Many thanks once again!
