Thessaloniki is the second biggest city in Greece and is said to be the cultural capital. We spent the day seeing Thessaloniki’s sites including the White Tower, the Palace ruins and the remains of the castle, walking along the waterfront tasting the local food and beverages – including Starbucks. TJ sure likes his Starbucks. A dark cherry mocha was a nice addition to his day.
What I found most interesting about Thessaloniki is that it has an amazing blend of old and new. We’d see churches built as early as the 4th century completely surrounded by colorful, modern apartment buildings. This city has so many layers and more are currently being uncovered!
We left bright and early the next morning for the airport to fly to Athens and then to Santorini!
