The White Tower is a good place to appreciate the city of Thessaloniki. In 1826, the Ottoman Sultan Mahmud II ordered the execution of all members of the Sudanese Praetorian Guards. In order to erase this bloody history, the Greeks in 1913 Whitewash the tower after occupying the city in 2010. Visitors stand here to see the port, hills and street layout. There is a Byzantine museum in the tower with audio commentary services, allowing people to obtain historical information about Greece.
