Family owned winery established in 1981. The aim is to produce high-quality wines from grapes cultivated in the privately-owned vineyard which exhibit all the distinctive characteristics of the specific microclimate (terroir) of Epanomi.

My partner and I really enjoyed Seikilo! The staff were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and gave us a tour and explanation (including some history and Greek mythology) of the instruments and even demonstrated each one expertly! We were allowed to play on every instrument and the staff member gave us tips how best to hold and play them. We also enjoyed the ancient Greek boardgames. The staff even indulged us and played one of the shorter games with my partner. Highly recommend!

8. Jewish Museum of Thessaloniki

The Jewish Museum of Thessaloniki was founded to honor the rich and creative Sephardic heritage as it evolved in the city of Thessaloniki.On the ground level are monumental stones and inscriptions that were once found in the great Jewish necropolis that lay to the east of the city walls. Accompanying these stones are a series of photographs showing the cemetery and visitors as it was in 1914.Central to the first floor is a narrative history of the Jewish presence in Thessaloniki from the 3rd century BCE until the Second World War. A separate exhibit focuses on the Shoah, as it affected the Jewish Community of Thessaloniki. The majority of the community - some 49,000 persons - was systematically deported to Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen where most of them perished.A research and documentation center operates within the premises, which aims to document and digitize archival documents from the Museum's own collection as well as archival material from other sources, thus creating a database accessible to visitors.The Museum provides special educational programs for schools.

After doing the Free Tour of the Jewish and Roman Quarters, we went to the Jewish Museum. It is a wonderful museum and incredibly sad at the same time, as the Jewish population of Thessaloniki was almost completely wiped out during the holocaust. We were very glad we included the museum in our visit - the Jewish population of Thessaloniki was around 50,000 at the beginning of WW 2, had been there for hundreds of years, and made major contributions to the city.

This is a wonderfully laid out museum containing a large variety of Byzantine artefacts. Its permanent exhibition is presented over about 11 rooms in this specifically designed, easy to navigate, atmospheric yet modern building. There are some truly beautiful icons and mosaics on view. Each room is dedicated to a particular aspect of Byzantine culture. The first covers the early churches while others present topics such as castles, emperors, graves and the various collections that were bequeathed to the museum. The information is displayed in English & Greek. The museum is highly impressive and informative and gives superb insights into the Byzantine Empire and Era. There is also a small cafe/restaurant in the building. Well worthy of a visit.
10. Museum of the Macedonian Struggle
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 265 reviews
The Musesum of the Macedonian Struggle is a historical museum that presents the local history and cultural identity of Macedonia, keeping alive the memory of the struggles of Hellenism and highlighting the role of ordinary people who left indelible traces in a diverse cultural heritage. With the tours one discovers a lesser known but ideologically charged chapter of the Greek and Balkan history of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Museum is open to the public Monday-Friday 9:00-14:00 and Saturday 10:00-14:00.
