Ataturk Museum of Thessaloniki

Being a Turkish Cypriot, we could not have gone anywhere else first as soon as we arrived in Thessaloniki. Just gave us the chills to see where such a marvellous Leader grew up. We thank those responsible for the excellent upkeep of the building. Don't miss this gem on your visits.

If you come to Thessaloniki, it is worth visiting this memorial house! It is the house where the great revolutionary leader of the Turkish people was born. Regardless of nationality or religion, you must know the history. The Ataturk Museum in Thessaloniki has recently been completely renovated and looks impeccable!

A deeply meaningful and emotional place to visit. This is the birthplace of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk — the founder of modern Türkiye. Unfortunately, the museum was under renovation during our visit, so we could only see it from the outside. Still, standing in front of this historic house felt powerful and moving. You can truly feel the spirit of a leader who changed the destiny of a nation. A must-see landmark for anyone who respects history, freedom, and progress. 🇹🇷

Really enjoyed it . Fair play to the Greeks . Good to see history respected . And the Turks for not rubbing the comments in . I read everything in the museum .

Finally, we are in the place where you were born, Atam ...Seeing the house where you spent your childhood was an emotional experience for us. Your house was incredibly beautiful, but I wish they had left the furnishings as they were. Aside from this, we can never be grateful enough for the foresight you provided and for saving our country. We had always seen your picture in high school textbooks, but being inside the house was very special

It is the house where our ancestor was born and lived until he was 13-14 years old. The pomegranate tree in the garden was planted by his father Ali Riza Bey and Ataturk used to play under it as a child. Even touching that tree made me feel very beautiful. The part that impressed me the most is that after visiting the first two floors, when you go up to the last floor, as soon as you raise your head at the end of the stairs, you are faced with the wax statue of Ataturk in the opposite room, which seriously gives you goosebumps. It is open between 10:00-17:00 except Mondays, so if you are ever in Thessaloniki, you should definitely go and see it.

We came with a big hope that construction has finished but ir isn’t. So sad to not visiting this precious place.

It is a precious,important and very impressive place for us as a Turk. We got so emotional. It was more meaningful for us because we knew our history, but better information can be provided for foreigners, for example, a brochure with short brief information can be given at the entrance. The library section at the bottom was a bit empty, Atatürk was a leader who read a lot. It would be better to organize the library part in a much better way.
