If you’re looking for an immersive experience in Thessaloniki’s rich Jewish history, look no further than Villa4you’s Jewish Monuments City Tour. This 4-hour tour will take you through some of the most significant Jewish landmarks in the city, with different vehicles available for your convenience.
On our tour, you’ll have the opportunity to see some of the most impressive Jewish monuments in the city. These include the Synagogue of Monastirioton, which was built in 1925 and provided refuge for surviving Jews during the Holocaust. You’ll also see the Synagogue of Yad Lezikaron, dedicated to the memory of Holocaust victims and inaugurated in 1984.
Another highlight of the tour is the Holocaust Memorial, which served as a gathering place for Nazis during their torture of Jewish men in July 1942. We’ll also visit the Jewish Museum, housed in one of the few Jewish buildings that survived the fire of 1917.
The tour isn’t just limited to historical landmarks, either. You’ll also get to see some impressive architecture, such as Saul’s Arcade. Built in 1881 by wealthy Ottoman Empire businessman Saul Modiano, this shopping center remains a stunning example of Thessaloniki’s architectural history.
Other highlights of the tour include the Modiano Market, a covered market built by engineer Eli Modiano in 1922, and Villa Modiano, an architectural masterpiece built as a residence for the family of Jewish banker Yakov Modiano.
And if you’re looking to explore even more of Thessaloniki’s Jewish landmarks, there are additional stops available. You can visit Casa Bianca, a luxurious mansion built between 1911-1913 by Italian-Jewish industrialist Dino Fernández Díaz. Or, you can explore Villa Allatini, a house built by the Allatini family in 1888 and designed by Italian architect Vitaliano Poselli. Allatini Mills, one of the most historic buildings in Thessaloniki, are also worth a visit.
