The most artistic place to be when visiting Thessaloniki! Be there in only 15 minutes walking from the city center, and enjoy a fantastic stroll by the sea and by the white tower of Thessaloniki! The place with the artistic umbrellas is great both at day or night! Enjoy the view of the sea at the sunset time , or enjoy the wonderful umbrella lights during the night!

Lovely! In a proper place (i mean also beautiful background) where you can enjoy a breathtaking sunrise or sunset. Photographs are welcomed.

It surely ia a must visit in Thesaloniki, because the place looks fantastic in photos. Be ready to wait a few moments, before it is your turn to take photographs. It lools so much better in photos than in reality.

It turned a landmark within a landmark of Thessaloniki! This is the umbrellas installation by Greek Artist George Zongolopoulos. (Umbrellas, 1997, stainless steel, height 13 m). This was one of the busiest places in the city and now the umbrellas are sandwiched between the White tower and the Statue of Alexander the Great!

Beautiful location, especially at the night.

Great placement along the board walk, and a nice location to take pictures even during sunset. Relatively close to many important landmarks which also cause this location itself to be slightly underwhelming. Easy to get to, enjoy, and take pictures, but not significant enough considering many great landmarks and locations the city of Thessaloniki has to offer. Not exactly a must, but a nice place to stop by and relax. With correct time of day, you can probably pull off great pictures, however, viewing in person won't have much of an impression.

Beautiful sculpture, and there is a water fountain next to it that children can play with the water. We were there twice, just the sunset scenery so beautiful. And near the evening, there are small vendors selling roasted sweet corn. It was really tasty.

Umbrellas next to the beach and promenade Beautiful view during day or night

"Umbrellas": the sculpture by George Zongolopoulos is illuminated at night and lit up by the sun during the day. It sits on the waterfront in Thessaloniki. A pretty place to hang out, by day or by night!

This modern sculpture, which you come across while walking on the beach, seems to appear in a completely different way at different times of the day. While it may look gorgeous in the right weather and at the right time, also seem trivial or even simple on a wrong day. I recommend those who want to take photos act according to these tips.

Love the location it’s on and the view during sunset is very nice.

it is a magical place! with the sunset everything becomes more romantic

Must see at night; recommend going for sunset as it provides a change of colors. Great attraction, very beautiful!

Get there during prime time and you will take some of the most amazing pictures of your life. The umbrellas are offering of the most romantic backgrounds for phorographs in the whole Thessaloniki area.

Nice attraction in Thessaloniki! Spoted umbrellas at night and also in daytime. At night looks better but it is crowded, most of the times. There are free boats tour, close to the umbrella. You can take a ride for free and you have to pay only for the drinks. It will take you on the, around 20-30’.

"The Umbrellas" by Zogolopoulos in Thessaloniki is a marvel in its simplicity. At first glance, one might wonder how mere umbrellas on a pole could evoke such profound emotion. Yet, with its impeccable angling and placement against the mesmerizing backdrop of the sea, it’s a testament to the magic of minimalist art. This sculpture serves as a poignant reminder never to underestimate the beauty in life's simplest elements. Just as "The Umbrellas" uncovers beauty in the mundane, in my 20+ years of personal training and life coaching, I've come to realize the power of consistent, simple efforts in sculpting one's life and well-being. For those on a journey to discover the profound beauty within themselves and their potential, guidance can illuminate the path. 🌆🌂🌊💪🏼

Touristic place with an art of metallic umbrellas. It is located by the port, around 15 mins walking from main square and next to a water fountain. Not as much as expected.

Nice point of interest, both during day time and night time.

This is one of my favorites in Thessaloniki as it has a great sea view on one side and fountain and city view on other side. It is very close to white tower too.

A beautiful place to visit and take pictures both during the day and at night

One of a kind place to be. Will alway be an attractive location and place.

Possibly one of the most iconic hanging out and relaxing spots at the seaside. All you need is a warm sun or a full moon. The sea is literally next under your feet! 🌊

A true good visit. Get a e-scooter and follow the whole promanade. It takes a about 45 min and 5km, very nice experience and ride. The sun tingles, the breeze refreshes and the sound of the waves relaxes.

Beautiflull spot in Thessaloniki. If you are there, this place must be on your to see list 👌. We visited this place during the day and also after sunset and there is a lot of people.

Very eye catching and unique structure right at the edge of the ocean. Great place to take photos and announce that you are in Thessaloniki, Greece. Visit twice, at dark and in day light, seems like a different place. Must visit when in Thessaloniki. It’s an open place, doesn’t require any ticket or queue.

Interesting place. Must see if you have been to Thessaloniki

The place was great, it wasnt too big, but i loved it and i would definitly go there one more time 👍

Nice art instalation, not far from white tower.

The sculpture Umbrellas by Giorgos Zongolopoulos is one of the artist's best-known pictorial motifs. We find umbrellas placed on the New Beach of Thessaloniki, at the height of the statue of Alexander the Great near the Makedonia Pallas hotel, at the entrance of the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art, as well as at the entrance of the Old Psychiko (in the Lighthouse), an area that has been associated with Zongolopoulos as there was his house, which today is the seat of the Foundation of the same name that he founded shortly before his death and to which he bequeathed his entire collection and the intellectual property rights of his work.

Beautiful at sunset ot later when it is all lit up. You are probably not going to get a picture of it without including a ton people you don't know. Try going early in the morning, sunrise. Anything from 7pm to midnight will have too many people.

Icon of Thessalonik. If you like to take touristy pictures, THIS IS THE PLACE. Go crazy with your fantasy.

Such a beautiful area and a great place to chill and just enjoy the scenery.

Beautiful modern art installation in the sea front of Thessaloniki. Art evokes different emotions for everyone. For me, this evokes flying and freedom. The art is well-maintained and will have a spectacular change in color with the changing time of the day.

It's a classic spot in the city and one of the modern sightseeings there too. It's a nice spot to hang out and take some really nice pictures. There is also a canteen near by to eat something or drink something

Nice place to take a photo

It's nice to walk or bike ride down by the waterfront ...very relaxing

Great view and good place to spent an evening walking around.

Great but needs some maintenance.

Peaceful place to enjoy the sunset alone or with someone special

Wonderful umbrellas by Zongopoulous in Thessaloniki! Very good place to make photos near the sea, especially at night!

"Umbrellas" is a sculpture by George Zongolopoulos. Installed in front of shore, it has become a typical place for taking a picture of yourself hanging at it.

One of the biggest (and at the same time, few) monuments in Thessaloniki. Always full of tourists so you need to be skilled a bit to take a nice selfie with the umbrellas.

Beautiful city. Good for a night staying, but that’s all. You can see it in just few hours. Good restaurants in the downtown area with good food and not so high prices.

Great sculpture by George Zongolopoulos, located on the city’s waterfront boulevard. It was constructed in 1997 and it’s height reaches 13 meters. Although I’ve seen it only during the day it is impressive in all parts of the day and night (as it is illuminated). The umberellas are one of the most photographed sculptures in the world and no wonder.

Such a romantic nice looking monument. A must see for tourists and great for photography. Wish they were more umbrellas though.

One of the most famous landmarks is Thessaloniki. "Umbrellas" is the sculpture of famous Greek sculptor George Zongolopoulos, installed in 1997. It is close to Alexander the Great statue and White Tower.

I have never seen anything so mesmerising as this piece of art. Especially at night.

A wonderful sight specially at night by the waterfront of Thessaloniki.

It is nicely located next to the sea. Doesn't seem as much during the day except the design of it which is unique, so I would suggest passing by it during the night. Many people gather there also. During the night it really gets better as lights placed on the ground light it up in different colors which can change.

We went, we admired, we took photos. These umbrellas are a pretty cool sculpture which is quite popular with tourists seeking photos. About 10 minutes walk from the white tower along the sea front.

Very nice sculpture. Interesting. In the day when I saw this, it was raining, so it was inspiring :))

Umbrellas fit a city that well? Greek sculptor Zongolopoulos brought it to the city in 1997. "The Zongolopoulos Umbrellas" is one of the must-see works in Thessaloniki

Smaller than expected, but a very creative and nice place. 8/10

Beautiful location to take very nice photos!! If you walk towards the music hall which is quite a nice building you will also find a navy warship.

Just love the view. Day and night. Simple beautiful!
