About Ano Poli in Thessaloniki

The upper town of Thessaloniki, with all its vivid and colourful glory, phases in and out of the 4th-century Byzantine era to the 15th-century touch of the Ottomans, with a fair amount of glimpse of a modern city.

Traditionally called Ano Poli, this neighbourhood in the northern side of Thessaloniki was the favourite of the elites throughout the history of the city. As a result, the urban fabric is weaved with numerous Roman and Ottoman architecture, peeking out from between contemporary houses and cafes. The stone-paved streets and the high city walls along the old acropolis make it really hard to believe which century you are standing in.

Ano Poli in Thessaloniki is not the main city centre; it is way up north and has beautifully preserved medieval times like a scent in a bottle. The eclectic mix of East-European and Turkish culture that is spread across the whole country of Greece can be felt way more evidently in Ano Poli – where time has almost not passed since those days.

The cityscape is painted with houses, shops, mosques and churches of the past and present. Every colour in the palette can be seen on the buildings that line the cobbled streets. The Great Fire of 1917 had wiped out large portions of this part of the town, mainly the Jewish Quarter. But nothing could crush the spirit that Ano Poli has – not the fire, not the several sieges that happened over the years, and certainly not the rise and fall of great empires like the Byzantine and Ottoman and others.

To know what to do in Ano Poli of Thessaloniki, one must know the town first. Taking a walk along the cobblestone paths, enjoying a fresh meal and drink at the open cafes – these are the activities that truly reveal what Ano Poli is.

Other than that, one must certainly visit the House of Kemal Ataturk, the founder of the Republic of modern Turkey. The house here where he was born during the Ottoman rule is now partially the office of Thessaloniki Municipality. The other part is a museum for the public to see his home and other personal belongings on display.

The tower of Thessaloniki is another must-visit point, or Yedi Kule or Heptapyrgion – depending on which empire you are talking about. A fortress for the garrison to both Byzantine and Ottoman armies and then later, this fortress is now a spectacular structure with great historical importance for the visitors to see. On clear days, Mount Olympus can be seen from Ano Poli as well.

    Uday's 7 days trip to Thessaloniki

    1. Excellent suggestion on the Travel Agent options. 2. Payment terms and modality of installments is user friendly. 3. It is probably the mandate of travel triangle to facilitate the travel schedule chosen by the customer. Perfect. Wish some inputs are mildly/indirectly provided by Travel Triangle
    in future to the prospective customers on the validity of their travel dates as far as tour season in the destination is concerned. If the travel dates fall in low season period, the shops are 90% closed, the internal transfers/ mode of travel (e.g ferries in Greece for the travel between islands get shut down in the low season period). 4. Hope there exist efforts from Travel Triangle to get the partnered agents in one room and train them of certain policy aspects . I am confident the top mgmt at Travel Triangle is aware about this. There is increased trend in higher middle class for aportioning funds for international travel and more over distinctly pronounced trend ( at least in Mahatrashtra) to avoid travelling thru big tour-arranging companies where the cotravellers don't exactly wear compatible mind-sets. Such travellers need more design inputs while deciding on the travel period for a given location. Hope above feed back would be taken in right perspective . Thanks for your time Dr. Uday B Gokhale, 9820830461

    I am sooooooo happy with the Mauritius trip. Ms.Ishita 9f My Trav Plan took care of everything very smooooooothly. Her behavoiur is way too good. She is kind, generous & very understanding. She made the changes dat I required very patiently. I got one of my best trip. The hotel chosen for me, Veran
    da,Grand baie was simply a wow..All d staffs were so friendly nd caring. They took extra care for the whole 5 days. The cab chosen nd the driver was Mr.Suben. He is indeed a well mannered, helpful nd a very kind man. He went out of his way to help me in many places. Special thanks to him. Being a solo traveller, all the above mentioned facts matter to me very much. So thank you so much and looking forward for another trip.

    Ramkicrn's 7 days trip to Thessaloniki

    Took a week long family trip to Greece planned by Ishita and executed by Ishan from MTP vacations. Overall great experience. Pros: Ishita from sales side was quite flexible in tailoring our trip to Greece and accommodated most of my inputs towards locations, length of stay, hotels etc., Quote g
    iven was quite competitive compared to peers. Ishan from operations side stayed on top of our itinerary throughout our stay providing pickup co-ordinates, driver and stay details. Got us upgraded to better travel modes as needed to ensure our schedules won't go astray, made us positively surprised and appreciated. Was available on phone, chat through the stay to ensure our travel experience is not compromised. Cons/Improvement areas: Minor discomforts were to wait for end of the day to know exact details of next day's plans.. Though nothing went off-track majorly, couple of schedule changes were done (of course for a better experience), but weren't communicated till late. While we were able to take it in our stride and play along, might not be the case for others . Both the above are more for ppl who don't like surprises in schedules, especially bit older travelers. Sales team were able to accommodate my asks on locations, however would be great if they are forthcoming with such family friendly options for uninitiated travelers. But Overall lovely family vacation enabled by MTP team!! Keep up the good work...

Vishal - Thanks a lot for arranging this wonderful trip and coordinating with me from beginning of trip plan to end of the journey. Vishal was very much patience and very good in handling the customer and to achieve the customer utmost satisfaction and did it very well in my case. Not but not the least , TRAVEL TRIANGLE - My initial impression was bit mixed feeling to proceed with Travel Triangle for the trip (because I didnt approach through any referral, I just got it from Google with some positive reviews). But getting in touch through calls and and drafting my honeymoon plan with my travel agent Vishal my perspective is entire changed and fully satisfied. Definitely, I will consider Travel Triangle for my next International trip for sure. I am giving 5 out of 5 stars rating for the entire trip and especially for travel agent Vishal.

    One of the first things someone looks for while hiring an agent is TRUST TRUTH AND SINCERITY. I must point say Prashant and Rohit from HUB HOLIDAYS went an extra mile to give us COMFORT, CONFIDENCE and COMMITMENT. An expert in their domain, helped us all along. asking for changes including the ones
    even during the trips! They were up for the challenge and went an extra mile even at 4 am in the morning. I wish them best of luck and would recommend them to one n all. 11 on 10 from our side. Much appreciate all the effort ☺️☺️

They were always available on call and whatsapp even during the entire duration of the trip. I am sure even if I had self planned the trip it couldn’t
    have been better than this. Greece is a beautiful country and there are plenty things to explore. We had a mix of adventure, history and romantic destinations on our itinerary. In all it was a good trip. Athens to Mykonos cruise trip.
