Modern Sights

If you find all this a little too dusty and too historical: don’t worry. Thessaloniki also has enough modern sights to offer.

For instance, take the architectonically quite strange, not to say futuristic television tower. It hosts a restaurant, offering a fantastic view above the city – and, due to its slow rotation, even a panoramic one. From this tower, state-run Greek television was transmitted for the first time in 1966.

Helexpo Palace, also known as the Saloniki Fair, has quite an unusual architecture, too. The building hosts numerous national and international fairs all over the year, and it has already become another symbol for the city.
