Tsinari

Tsinari, part of the Ano Poli (Upper City), took its name from “cinar”, Turkish for plane tree. The area of Ano Poli, the northernmost and highest part of the old residential core of Thessaloniki, saves significant elements of the city’s historic character. The profile of the district is still alive due to the preservation of the old urban plan and the significant number of listed buildings present in the area. Spared by the great fire of 1917 and protected by a preservation order since 1979, the Tsinari district has preserved its architecture and its cobblestone streets. Today its tavernas attract customers from all over the city, making the neighbourhood a lively place.
