O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Uzdiže se 33,9 metara na primorskom bulevaru Soluna i ima prečnik 23 metra u osnovi. Sagrađen je u 16. vijeku kao dio utvrđenja, a kasnije je 1912. dobio karakterističnu bijelu boju.
Istaknuto: Bijela boja nije uvijek bila tu: Osmanlije su je okrečili nakon glasina da je korištena kao zatvor i mjesto mučenja. Kada je grad oslobođen 1912. godine, jedan grčki radnik je ofarbao bijelom simbolično, da bi izbrisao njenu mračnu prošlost.
Insajderski savjeti
- Go up the spiral staircase on foot: it has 96 steps and on each floor there are exhibits about the history of the city.
- The best spot for a photo is from the south side of the coastal promenade, when the tower is lit golden at sunset.
- Avoid midday in July and August: the queue in the heat is long and there is no shade.
- Spend 10 minutes exploring the surrounding area: there are old Ottoman cannons and a small outdoor exhibition.
