I	Ilias Voridis on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful Orthodox Church of Thessaloniki. The biggest church of Thessaloniki and one of the biggest of Greece, if not the biggest one. Beautiful interior decoration and the underground part of the church is really interesting and worth taking a look at it.
G	Georg Papanikolaou on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the biggest Cathedrals in Greece and maybe the biggest in Thessaloniki, as far as i have personally visited. It is worth spending an hour of your time visiting this Temple if you are in the neighbourhood, no matter of your religion. Amazing interior Architekture, with breathtaking Ikones taken direkt from the bible. This is not only a Cathedral, or a symbol of faith or Christianity, but also this is a Monument. The Temple itself was build in 413 a.C. It has a life of more than 16 centuries.
A	Anthony Manmohan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It is worth seeing for its history and old roman bath in the crypt. Old french style toilets except the didabled toilet but with no toilet paper in the garden along with grapevines.
B	Bogdan Godeanu on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Impressive Byzantine church.
A	Aleksandar Milincic on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ [December 2019] One of the most amazing ortodox churches I've ever seen. So many relics of the saints you can pray to and admire too! St.Demetrios is patron saint of Thessaloniki. The church is built on the ruins of the Roman baths, where in 303.ad Roman officier Dimitrios was martyred. It was a small prayer house which is located today in the crypt, under the church altar. In 400's, a subprefect Lenotius Illyria, healled by St.Dimitrios, built a 3 nave basilica. Rebuilt after a fire in the 7th century, as 5 naval basilica. Burned again in 1917 and rebuilt using original materials. Recommend!
B	Bistra Kunovska on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Church of St. Demetrius is the patron saint of Thessaloniki, it is among the most visited sights of the city. The building lies on old Roman baths. The temple was built in the 4th century AD. In the 5th century it was rebuilt into a three-building basilica. After a large fire, only the ruins of the present-day church remain of the basilica. This happened in 629-634. A hexagonal tomb lined with silver is kept in St. Demetrius, and there is a bed on the tomb on which no one rests, and it is believed that the structure has a symbolic meaning rather than a real tomb. Very beautiful place!
G	George Papadopoulos on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An impressive Byzantine church of the patron saint of Thessaloniki. Mind the hours of the crypt are limited if you're looking to see it. Note that crypt hours are limited!
D	Dejan Kitanovic on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Church of Saint Demetrius, or Hagios Demetrios (Greek: Άγιος Δημήτριος), is the main sanctuary dedicated to Saint Demetrius, the patron saint of Thessaloniki, dating from a time when it was the second largest city of the Byzantine Empire. It is part of the site Palaeochristian and Byzantine Monuments of Thessaloniki on the list of World Heritage Sites by UNESCO since 1988.
