Thessaloniki
Modern
Thessaloniki is a metropolis of over a million inhabitants. Its pleasant
situation on the Thermaikos Gulf and its mountain backdrop offer its visitors a
variety of options. Rich in history and culture, the picturesque old town, a
vast seafront, modern shaded avenues and squares, smart shops and lively
nightlife allure the most discerning visitor. A thriving industrial and
commercial centre, with two universities and the International Trade Fair is the
second largest city and port in Greece. Thessaloniki is located in northern
Greece, in the province of Macedonia, 500 Kms north of Athens. Within easy reach
of several significant archaeological sites, such as Pella, Vergina and Dion,
and of course a short drive away from the idyllic beaches of Halkidiki.
