Thessaloniki
One of the more interesting cities to visit in Greece, Thessaloniki
combines successfully the bustling city offerings of the second
largest city in Greece, 1.5 million people, with a more cultural,
artistic, gourmet and historic character. A metropolitan hub and
a collection of peculiar corners you will enjoy discovering. Wonderfully
easy to see on foot - most things you would like to visit you can
walk to, if you're staying in the centre. Thessaloniki is one of
the oldest cities in Europe. However, its history is experienced
in a more subtle way than, for example, the obvious visiting of
the Acropolis in Athens. There are a great number of historic and
archaeological sites dispersed in the city, but we would say that
most importantly, its heritage is found in the sophisticated and
slightly puzzling character of its inhabitants. One of the things
that give Thessaloniki is distinct character is its long and wide
waterfront. Stretching from the harbor to the White Tower ("Palia
Paralia" - old beach), all the way to the east part of the
city and beyond, it is the delight of locals, as well as visitors,
who can be seen strolling at any time of day (or night), in any
weather conditions. The coastal road is opportunely strewn with
cafes, some of great style and fame, that provide just the right
atmosphere to pause your walk, enjoy perhaps a beautiful sunset
(the sun sets over the sea, affording many such opportunities) while
sipping your Moccacino or Greek coffee.
