Kemal's birthplace in Thessaloniki currently hosts the Turkish consulate. It's just a house of mediocre architecture. Apart from that it's good to know that a multi-cultural Thessaloniki has lived through the centuries and is the birthplace for other than Hellenic significant men. More

This museum is closed Saturday and Sunday, which is sad considering that is when most people would visit. More

Actually it is just a house, the place were Kemal was born. It is located in the wider center of the city so you have to walk 20-25 minutes at least from the White Tower (the central monument of the city). It worths to visit it only if you are really interested in Kemal's life and biography. More

Ataturk's birthplace is located at the city's center but it currently houses Turkey's consulate and consequently, is not open to visitors. Photos are not allowed either. Lovely building though. More
