the White Tower

…In Medieval times the Greeks were not as peaceful as they are today – but then again, 1500 years ago the same could be said of just about any nation.

Greece’s second largest city – Thessalonika – built the White Tower as its Fortress.

…Then, the Greeks lived in City – States called “Polis” which, by the way, is where the word Metropolis comes from – Meter (Mother) & Polis (City) meaning “Mother City” or main city. Each Plis was a sovereign political unit and each had a fortified centre where residents took refuge from attack from neighbouring cities.

No longer subject to attack from rival cities, the White Tower now houses a famous Greek museum.

We hope you enjoy the food & the hospitality of White Tower Restaurant.
