The tour also includes a traditional folk show and a drink.

Join this half-day excursion featuring Thessaloníki's most popular landmarks and highlights. Leave the ship, board a coach and enjoy an introduction to the city, where you will pause briefly for photos of the White Tower. An excellent example of post-Byzantine architecture, this building stands today as a majestic symbol of Thessaloníki. The next 1 hour will be dedicated to the visit of the the Archaeological Museum. One of the most important exhibits is The Gold of Ancient Macedonia, displaying coins excavated from central Macedonia. Also featured are artifacts from the Archaic, Classic and Roman periods. Back on your coach, continue past the International Trade Fair grounds and the Aristotelion University as you head to the citadel. Here, enjoy a superb panoramic view of the city, with Mt. Olympus and the Thermaic Gulf in the background. Your next visit will be to the 5th-century Basilica of St. Demetrius, the largest church in Greece. View an impressive display of mosaics and visit the basilica's crypt, where Demetrius, an officer of the guard, was confined. Before returning to the ship, travel along one of Thessaloníki's main avenues, past the Arch of Galerius and St. George's Rotonda.
