Top Thessaloniki Art Classes

Learn how to play Apollo's instrument—the lyre—with an intimate class for just you and your party. Your instructor, Lina Palera, has extensive experience performing the lyre at venues and festivals around the world and is well-versed in teaching even the most nervous beginner how to play this incredible ancient instrument. You’ll also have time to explore the music-related exhibits at the Seikilo Museum, and museum entry is included.

This experience is a rare blend of cultural exploration and hands-on creation. Unlike standard city tours, we don’t just show you history; we help you recreate it. You will visit three UNESCO-listed monuments, including a hidden 5th-century mosaic masterpiece, and then immediately apply that inspiration in our private glass studio. Located in the heart of the historic Ano Poli, our workshop offers an authentic local vibe with traditional Greek treats right on the historic Koule Kafe Square. You won't just leave with photos, but with a 100% handmade glass mosaic, safely packed to take home—a personal piece of Thessaloniki’s Byzantine soul created by you.

The ancient Greeks were responsible for a number of the world’s innovations. During this private experience, step back in time and learn about ancient Greek music with a musician who specializes in ancient instruments. Listen to a demonstration of the lyre of Hermes, the pandura, the Cithara of the Golden Age, and many other instruments. You also listen to a performance from a professional lyricist who shares stories about the Greek gods.

Leave Thessaloniki for a day and discover ancient Dion and Mt. Olympus without the stress of public transport or hire cars. Travel to Dion Archaeological Park, home to city ruins dating from the 6th century BC; and explore its relics and museum. Next, visit Mt. Olympus, the home of the gods in Greek mythology, and swim in the refreshing waters of Agia Kori waterfall before returning.
