Vlatadon Monastery

The five stars are JUST for the incredible views and the peacocks esp the white ones!! You can’t take photos inside the church, which is ridiculous, especially as they are not even the oldest ones in Thessaloniki (for which one CAN take photos of). Won’t spend any more than 10-15 minutes here but so worth the trek up to Ano Poli. This was the final stop of a free walking tour and I’m so glad we ended here.

Amazing place to visit. Very well maintained and behind its wall you will discover a whole new world. The view to the town is also beautiful.

Although the place is nice, full of history and a religious site, the people who work on it totally destroys the experience. The guy in the store was rude, impolite, dry, unpleasant.. he was in the phone and couldn't be bothered by a lady needing info to buy some stuff.. even the lady cleaning the restroom was so rude that was unbelievable.. she didn't allow my wife to use the restroom and told her to wait ten minutes for the restroom "to rest" after she cleaned it.. then the rude guy from the store just entered, no problem.... She told us to go to some cafe.. how come people like this work in a religious site.

The hike to and from the Monastery from the seafront is quite steep and on slightly road. We took bus number 23 near our hotel to the Heptapyrgion, walked to the Triangle Tower and made our way to the Monastery. The 60/80 cents single journey was well worth it & quite interesting... the bus made its way through steep & narrow residential roads with parked cars and negotiated the narrowest of bends & corners before arriving at our destination. The views at the Monastery and Triangle Tower are well worth the visit.

Extremely well-kept, such a beautiful place. Very quiet, peaceful and serene. Astonishing it has been in existence so long and still so pristine. Quite a small monastery but worth visiting along with all the other sites in the near vicinity. 5 mins walk from the Triangle Tower and close to the city walls so not to miss if you're visiting those.

This place is magical. The garden is delicately arranged, the birdcage is impressive with the white peacocks, and the little church is really special. You can tell that it’s an active monastery and monks are taking care of it.

A small and cozy monastery in the heart of the old town, an unpretentious little church where you find solitude and peace. The view is more than impressive! Don't miss a visit if you are in Thessaloniki Ano Poli :)

It's a nice, old but still active monastery. Overlooking Thessaloniki CBD and the Mediterranean coastline.
