Tour & Activity Scams in Thessaloniki

Fake Archaeological Site Guide Touts

Individuals near major Thessaloniki archaeological sites — particularly the Rotunda, the Arch of Galerius, and the Thessaloniki Archaeological Museum — approach tourists offering unofficial guided tours. These touts may claim to be former museum staff, archaeology students, or certified guides. Their information is often unreliable and payment expectations are ambiguous until the end of the tour.
