Thessaloniki’s historical monuments stand as silent witnesses to the city’s past, yet many are suffering from neglect and reduced accessibility, especially in winter. Tour guide Romylos Mantzouras highlights the significance of the Ermion Mansion, the city’s first mall, which opened in 1925 and now houses shops and offices. Despite its architectural beauty, the surrounding areas suffer from encroachment by cafes, overshadowing these cultural symbols. Advocacy groups urge for better preservation and recognition of Thessaloniki’s rich heritage to ensure that these sites do not fade from public memory.
