Aristotelous Square

Aristotelous Square, designed by French architect Ernest Hébrard in 1918, emerged from the ashes of a devastating fire that ravaged Thessaloniki’s city center in 1917. This expansive, impressive square, one of the largest in Greece, stretches towards the Thermaikos Gulf, offering a panoramic view of the water. The grand boulevard of Aristotelous leads visitors up to the serene gardens of Platia Dikastirion. Today, the square serves as a vibrant hub where locals and tourists alike can enjoy the open space, surrounded by elegant neoclassical buildings and bustling cafes.
