Romance-Greece Thessaloniki

Thessaloniki is the second largest city in Greece, located in the Macedonia region of northern Greece. It is an important port city in Greece and a historic city with a rich cultural heritage and attractive tourist attractions. It has a long history and was once part of the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman Empires. The city is famous for its ancient buildings, museums and archaeological sites. First is the White Tower. A relic of a Byzantine city wall, but it has one history after another. It has witnessed the changes of the entire city for nearly a thousand years. A prison in a prosperous city, a military tool of defense, a historical witness to massacres. It represents this city. Orthodox Christianity is undoubtedly the major religion here. You can always see Orthodox churches in different corners. The magnificent church has characters carved on the walls one after another. Add aperture one after another. If you know about history, you will find that all the murals are about the experiences of Jesus and the martyrdom of some people later. The city also contains many buildings from the Roman period. You can find traces of city walls and aqueducts on the streets. It’s that life contains history. Because they are originally part of society.

Thessaloniki - A Waterfront City

Aha Alison!
East Thessaloniki Byzantine Walls

Thessaloniki is easy to fall in love with – it has beauty, chaos, history and culture, a remarkable cuisine and wonderful, vast sea views. This is Greece’s second city, which, like the rest of the country, has suffered the hit of the economic crisis, but the streets remain full of life and vibrancy. The different neighbourhoods are little worlds unto themselves, and when you climb up to the Byzantine walls and take in the whole of Thessaloniki at sunset, you see what a sprawling, organic city it is. Old and new cohabit wonderfully: the Arch of Galerius, an intricate 4th-century monument, overlooks the busy shopping drag of Egnatia, while Thessaloniki’s most famous sight, the White Tower, anchors a waterfront packed with cocktail bars. The revamped waterfront area breathes life and is great for walking and cycling. By night, the city reverberates with music and nightlife. #mynovgetaway #mynovgetaway
