The second city in Greece, in terms of size and importance, in the wider city area has slightly more than 1,100,000 permanent residents.
The city was founded by King Cassander in 316 BC and he named it after his wife and half-sister of Alexander the Great...Thessaloniki. Thessaloniki got her name from her father,Philip II of Macedonia ,after the victory over the inhabitants of Thessaly, so it is derived from the words: Thessaly and victory, that is, Thessaly and "NIKA".
Welcome to Thessaloniki!!!
In earlier times, this city had a large salt factory, so the Turks call it "SELANIK" and hence our name for one of the most beautiful cities in Europe - "SOLUN".
A city with a very stormy history, which, in addition to the Greeks, was ruled by Rome, Byzantium, the Republic of Venice, and Turkey has a large number of landmarks, but among them there are also those that stand out.
In this first part, we visited Aristotle's Square, the White Tower of Thessaloniki and the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki. In the following period, see more about Thessaloniki...
