Historical Museum of Thessaloniki
In the 1890s, the fortress was converted into a prison. The exact date is not known with certainty, but the prison is mentioned on an 1899 map of the city, providing a terminus ante quem for the change. This conversion entailed the removal of all the previous buildings inside the castle, of which no trace survives today. The changes to the fortifications were not significant, although their primary role was reversed: from protecting residents from external threat, they now served to isolate prisoners from the outside world. The jail long served as the city's main correctional facility, where prisoners of any gender or crime were held. New buildings were built along both sides of the walls to improve the functionality of the new penitentiary. The inner courtyard was divided by fences into five separate units, and the central courtyard housed the main observation post in the centre.
The prison had a chapel and other annexes, while the annex located north-east tower was destroyed during the Second World War. The outer buildings, on the south side of the castle, housed the administration, the women's prison, and to the west, the solitary confinement cells. This centre had gained a bad reputation during the Metaxas regime, the Occupation, and in the post-war period from the Greek Civil War to the Junta (the regime of the Colonels).

The White Tower of Thessaloniki is a 15th century Ottoman fortification project (probably built between 1450-70). Today it is considered a characteristic monument of Thessaloniki and is all that has been saved from the demolished Ottoman fortifications of the city. The current form of the tower replaced a Byzantine fortification of the 12th century to be used later as a Janissary guard and as a death row prison. Today it functions as a museum and is one of the most famous buildings-symbols of cities in Greece. It has 6 floors, 34 meters high and 70 meters perimeter. The White Tower overlooks the beach of Thessaloniki.

Ladadika
Ladadika is a historic district of the city of Thessaloniki. It is divided into the districts of Ladadika and Ano Ladadika. The Ladadika area is bounded by the streets "Ionos Dragoumi", "Tsimiski", "Salaminos" and "Admiral Kountouriotou" while Ano Ladadika is bounded by the streets "Tsimiski", "Fragon", "Leo Sofou", "Dodekanissou", "Vasileos Herakliou" and "Verias". The boundaries of the area are defined by the decree declaring it a "historic site" (Hellenic Ministry of Environment and Tourism/DILAP/G/24917/1598/24.5.85) and its area is 6.5 hectares and includes 24 economic islands, where around 300 business units are located, employing around 1400 workers.
The area is located near the Port of Thessaloniki and for centuries it was one of the most important commercial centres of the city. The name Ladadika itself comes from the existence of many wholesale shops in the area where mainly olive oil was sold. Many Jews of Thessaloniki lived in the area, making it the old Jewish quarter of Thessaloniki, while the area inhabited by French and Italian merchants, "Frangomachalas", is located right next to the Ano Ladadika area.
In the years before the First World War many brothels and taverns began to appear in the area, and after the Great Fire of Thessaloniki the area lost its dynamism. The period of decline lasted until the great earthquake of 1978 when it was abandoned for about two decades. In 1985, Ladadika was declared an area of cultural value by the Ministry of Culture of Greece. The particular architectural style of the 19th century buildings is preserved and protected. The particular importance of the area lies in the fact that despite its small size, it gives the visitor an idea of how Thessaloniki was built before the 1917 fire that razed 70% of the city.
Today, having undergone a restoration process in the 1980s, Ladadika is an entertainment area of Thessaloniki, where many bars, nightclubs, restaurants and taverns are housed, where once there were oil shops and commercial warehouses. In Ladadika are the squares of Morihovo, Petrakaki Square, and in Upper Ladadika the Emporio Square with an exit to Polytechniou Street.

Very close to the city of Thessaloniki and just after the airport, the settlement of Peraia is a seaside village and is a magnet for the people of Thessaloniki who go there for a nice seafood meal right next to the sea. From spring onwards you can go by boat through the sea and see Thermaikos and Thessaloniki from a different perspective.
