Thessaloniki

Thessaloniki sits at the head of the Thermaic Gulf in northern Greece, where the Macedonian plain meets the Aegean coast. Greece’s second-largest city was founded in 315 BC by Cassander and developed into an important Roman and Byzantine port. The White Tower, its best-known waterfront landmark, recalls the Ottoman era, while the Rotunda and Church of Hagios Demetrios form part of the city’s UNESCO-listed early Christian and Byzantine monuments. Aristotle Square opens onto the gulf, and the promenade links central districts with the port. Local cooking reflects Greek, Balkan, Sephardic Jewish and Ottoman influences.
