Travelling in Thessaloniki with a Rental Car

With a long list of buildings and monuments from Roman, Byzantine and Turkish empires and a lack of the hustle and bustle of Athens, Thessaloniki is a popular destination for travellers wishing to see some of the area's historical remains while avoiding the larger crowds. If you are arriving into Thessaloniki by ship or plane, you can collect your rental car on arrival and be on your way to see the sights. There is no need to wait on tour groups or rely on expensive guides, you can plan your own time there and see the sights.

A great introduction to the history of the area is the Archeology Museum, located just a short drive south east of the harbour near the waterfront. The museum houses a great collection of artefacts and historical items uncovered in the area, and is the perfect way to become familiar with the city's past. From here, jump in your hire car and drive a short distance south from the museum to White Tower, a local icon and important landmark of the area. Built in the 16th century and was once part of the city's defences, the tower now houses a museum and also provides spectacular views of the city from the top.

You can tour the city with your rental car, and take your pick of sights to stop and visit. Famous buildings include Hagia Sofia, a church from the 6th century, and the Rotunda, which was built in the 4th century as a mausoleum for Roman emperor Galerius. The list of historical sites is a long one, and you can see them all at your own pace with your hire car.
