Overview

Thessaloniki, with its deep Jewish history, is home to several significant Jewish heritage sites. The Jewish Museum of Thessaloniki offers a comprehensive look at the city's Jewish history, showcasing artefacts, documents, and photographs that tell the storey of the community before and after the Holocaust. The Monument to the Jewish Martyrs stands as a sombre reminder of the lives lost during World War II. The 16th-century Monastirioton Synagogue is one of the oldest, and the Etz Hayyim Synagogue, still in use today, symbolises Jewish resilience. The city's Jewish cemeteries, especially the modern Jewish cemetery, offer a peaceful reflection on the community’s legacy. After visiting these landmarks, enjoy a traditional Jewish meal at local eateries, where you can savour dishes such as “bourekia” (stuffed pastries), “kavourmas” (spiced pork), or “borek” (savoury pastries), giving you a taste of the city’s multicultural history.
