Thessaloniki travel


Thessaloniki greece travelThessaloniki is one of the oldest cities in Europe, the capital of Macedonia and the second largest city of Greece after Athens. Greeks often refer to it as the “co-capital” of Greece due its strategic position, which makes Thessaloniki one of the most important trade and communications centers as well as a major cosmopolitan crossroad whose cultural influence is far-reaching. The city’s landmark is the White Tower, which also houses a Byzantine museum. Worth visiting is the Archaeological museum that exhibits findings of the archaic, classical and Roman periods as well as the church of Saint Dimitrios, the holy patron of the city. Thessaloniki is also known for its exceptional nightlife with the famous Ladadika quarter. Here you will find bars and clubs playing great music as well as restaurants and ouzeris among the best in Greece.
