About Place Aristote

La place Aristote est le cœur de Thessalonique — un espace public majeur conçu en 1918 par l'architecte français Ernest Hébrard. Ce vaste rectangle s'ouvre directement sur le golfe Thermaïque, cadré par deux bâtiments en demi-lune, des cafés animés et l'historique Electra Palace Hotel. La place accueille les grands rendez-vous de la ville, dont la Foire internationale de Thessalonique et le Festival international du film. Elle rejoint la promenade du front de mer et se trouve à cinq minutes à pied de la Tour Blanche.
