Thessaloniki Highlights Easy E-Bike Tour — Waterfront, White Tower & Byzantine Sights

The Experience
Before You Go
Charge your phone and bring a camera
You'll stop for unmissable photo points (White Tower, Rotunda, Aristotelous); make sure devices are charged and have spare storage.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Cobblestones and short uphill stretches feel safer and more comfortable in trainers or hiking shoes rather than sandals.
Hydrate for the coastal sun
Even short rides can dehydrate you—carry a refillable bottle; bottled water is included but extras are useful in summer.
Respect pedestrian zones
Give right-of-way in busy squares and follow your guide—Thessaloniki's narrow streets can be busy with foot traffic.
