[ THE OTE TOWER - MID 20th C. ]
The four-story tower has a total height of 72.4m. 44.2m of that is the actual building, and 28.2m is the height of the surmounting metal frame.
The Tower belongs to TIF HELEXPO and is leased by the telecommunications company (OTE). It stands on the grounds of the Thessaloniki International Fair, one of the top trade fairs in southern Europe since its inaugural opening in 1926. For a 360° view of the city, grab a table at the newly renovated rotating café, the only one in Greece, on the fourth floor. A complete rotation takes about an hour.

The ground floor of the tower, built in 1969, served as the pavillion for OTE, the Greek telecommunications company, at the 34th Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF). Within a year, the rest of the tower had been finished.
