Every landmark, museum, market and transport hub on one map. Tick the categories you need, tap a pin for the story — most pins are within a 25-minute walk of Aristotelous Square.
The info kiosk on Aristotelous Square (summer) and the airport desk hand out free paper maps — and every metro station displays a network map. Offline apps (Google Maps, Organic Maps) work perfectly in the compact centre.
Follow a one-way loop — foot for the centre, bus only when the hill helps. Open the full path in Google or Apple Maps in one tap. Text updates to your language automatically.
How to move: All on foot (flat + one gentle climb). Optional metro Venizelou → Agias Sofias if tired.

Stops
The 4.5-km waterfront runs from the port past the White Tower to the Concert Hall. Lost? Walk downhill until you hit water, then follow it.
Tsimiski (shopping), Egnatia (the Roman road — metro line, budget eats) and Agiou Dimitriou (churches, Ano Poli access) carry most of the city's life, all parallel to the sea.
Above Agiou Dimitriou street lies Ano Poli — Ottoman lanes and Byzantine walls that survived the 1917 fire. Everything below was rebuilt on Hébrard's elegant grid.
Yes — our interactive map marks 30+ sights, food spots and transport hubs with toggle layers.
Very — port to White Tower about 25 minutes on foot along a flat promenade.
On the waterfront at the south end of the centre — the default landmark on our map.
