White Tower of Thessaloniki
The White Tower is a good place to appreciate the city of Thessaloniki. In 1826, the Ottoman Sultan Mahmud II ordered the execution of all members of the Sudanese Praetorian Guards. In order to erase this bloody history, the Greeks in 1913 Whitewash the tower after occupying the city in 2010. Visitors stand here to see the port, hills and street layout.

Athens, a city that was extremely glorious 2,500 years ago, now appears in front of us in a very simple appearance. A small airport, an inconspicuous road, and the clouds and sunlight on the road are playing tricks. There is a sacred feeling in the air, as if gods live deep in the deserted wilderness. Aristotle Square is definitely a central area that you should come and see!
