White Tower of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki

This is THE symbol of Thessaloniki, in a great location on the water. Excellent views on top. 6euros to get in, but no bathrooms. The tower itself is pretty cool and worth a quick stop. However -- the museum is entirely in Greek, and the included foreign language handset they give you (Japanese, English, Russian, or Turkish) is pretty much a joke. They are obviously not translating 70% of the material, and most of the information in the museum is therefore completely inaccessible to non-Greek speakers, presumably a large portion of their audience. This is a real shame as they obviously put a lot of thought and effort into organizing the museum otherwise. Seemed as if national pride ("What, you don't speak Greek??") got in the way of a functional experience. The ironic thing was that right outside the tower there is a garbage can which says in both Greek and English "City of Thessaloniki" on it. The garbage can is translated but not the museum. C'mon guys. Very disappointing.

Make sure you have 3 vaccines to enter Inexpensive. 6 floors easy accent. They have little devices for free you can get from the front desk and it will help translate the information. The views are great
