It is now one of the 15 Paleochristian and Byzantine Monuments of Thessaloniki that were included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1988. The name Rotunda came from its round shape. It is one of the oldest and more impressive monuments in Thessaloniki. It was built in the first years of Roman tetrarchy, when Caesar Galerius (250-311 AD) was based in Thessaloniki. It was part of the imperial complex, probably in one theory built as Galerius’ mausoleum, but was never used

The museum was fantastic! This is mainly, and they communicate it as so, a transfer in and around Thessaloniki to see the highlights. Georgia was super kind and easy to work with. She gave us plenty of time at each place and was super flexible. The forum was closed, but not her fault. Was definitely an easy way to get around with a group that had both a 7 y/o and two 71 y/o’s.

The fort and white tower and museum we enjoyed the most. Our guide was born and raised in the town but claimed she didnt know much about the history as much as we would have liked. She was patient with my health concerns.

The driver was prompt and pleasant. He had a printed list of sights with descriptions that we were visiting. He is not a travel guide, only a driver. He was accommodating when we requested a change in itinerary.

Our driver, Johnny, was excellent. He took us to all the important sites in Thessaloniki and allowed us ample time to visit each site. Pick up at the port was convenient. Unfortunately on the day we visited all of the museums were closed but we were informed about that by the tour operator and still enjoyed the tour.
