    A great monument of Alexander the Great king in ancient Greece and kingdom of Macedonia. Son of Philip II. He spent most of his ruling years on an unprecedented military campaign through Asia and northeast Africa, and by the age of thirty he had created one of the largest empires of the ancient world, stretching from Greece to northwestern India He was undefeated in battle and is widely considered one of history's most successful military commanders

    A perfect location on the waterfront for a monument to this famous Greek.

    A popular gathering spot for locals and visitors, the Alexander the Great Garden is a cement and grass plaza with fountains near the sea. Jugglers, entertainers and all types of games help create a buzzing atmosphere. Admire the impressive equestrian statue of Alexander the Great at the head of the square. Consider the importance of the park’s namesake figure, who was educated by Aristotle and ruled the kingdom of Macedonia. He is known for his ingenious military tactics and creation of a vast empire. Study the statue of Alexander on his galloping horse, Voukefalas. The statue is 20 feet (6 meters) tall, including an imposing block podium.

    Certainly a great spot in the whole length of the reformed sea front of the city. Visit for great views to the sea, connecting with the surrounding environment, piece and quiet next to the small artificial waterfall. Ideal times would be during sunrise or sunset, because it is not so very crowded and the colors are stunning all around you!

    (Translated by Google) It is one of the most important monuments and sights of Thessaloniki. It has now become a tradition for Greek and foreign tourists to take a photo next to the statue of Alexander the Great. It has next to it a very nice park with a lot of green is very good for a walk with the children. (Original) Είναι ένα από τα σημαντικότερα μνημεία και αξιοθέατα της Θεσσαλονίκης . Πλέον έχει γίνει παράδοση για τους Έλληνες και ξένους τουρίστες να βγαίνουν φωτογραφία δίπλα στο άγαλμα του Μ. Αλεξάνδρου.

  • 4/5 Alberto E. 3 years ago on Google
    I have mixed feelings and emotions about the park and the statue. The openess of the park. The breeze and the views are unique. In the middle of the promenade the statue of Alexander the Great, riding his horse named Vookefala. Am I suppose to be inspired? fell proud? Is this a piece of art? Or should I cry or get upset from the graffiti put probably by some kids? None of the above. I take some pictures and continue my walk on this amazing promenada that sometimes I called Unique jewel of Thessaloniki or Greece or Europe. This is probably the only place that all Thessalonikians can be proud and call it theirs. Yes. The promenade is an extention of their homes and their hearts. Chears and yia mas
