About Ano Poli / Upper Town

Ano Poli climbs above the modern grid to the Byzantine Walls, the Trigonion Tower and the Eptapyrgio fortress, with the UNESCO-listed Vlatadon Monastery among its churches. Tsinari, the city's oldest ouzeri, anchors a quarter of village-scale lanes. It is the quiet, characterful side of Thessaloniki: heritage homes, panoramic terraces and a tight community. Buyers here are often restoring period houses, a route that can align with the €250k conversion/restoration Golden Visa tier.
