Delphi Archaeological Museum
Make sure to check out the museum gift shop! They have some unique souvenirs and the prices are pretty reasonable compared to other tourist spots
Wear comfortable shoes! The museum has some stairs and uneven flooring, and you’ll want to be able to walk around without any pain.
Allocate at least two hours for your visit. I rushed through because I thought it was smaller, but I missed so many fascinating details.
arrive by 9 am to beat the crowds and truly appreciate the museum's treasures in peace. trust me, it makes a big difference!
Roman Forum
Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki
Don’t miss the lower level with the incredible gold artifacts. It was definitely a highlight of my trip and not too many people go there right away.
I suggest starting your visit around 10 AM, just after opening, to avoid crowds. It makes it way easier to enjoy the exhibits without feeling rushed or jostled.
Thessaloniki Archaeological Museum
I suggest buying your tickets online in advance to skip the queues. It saved me tons of time!
Plan at least two hours to explore; I rushed and ended up missing some incredible exhibits because I underestimated the time needed.
If you're on a budget, check if they have a free entry day. I stumbled upon one, and it was awesome seeing everything without spending a dime.
Ataturk Museum
Definitely check the opening hours before you go! I went on a Sunday and it was closed for some reason. What a bummer!
Heptapyrgion of Thessalonica
I suggest visiting around 9 AM... The light is perfect for photos, and you’ll beat the crowds... Trust me, it gets busy later
while the view is stunning, don’t miss the grounds! i almost skipped walking around the walls because i was too excited about the tower. take your time!
I recommend wearing comfy shoes. The paths can be a bit uneven, and you’ll want to explore every corner without worrying about your feet.
Basilica of St. Demetrius
Don’t miss the crypt below the church; it's fascinating! My advice is to keep an eye out for the small entrance—it’s easy to walk right past it.
I think it's worth exploring the surrounding area after your visit; there are cute cafes and shops nearby that give a nice local vibe.
