Thessaloniki Greece - seaside views



Thessaloniki is my hometown and the second largest city in Greece
with about 1 million inhabitants

It was founded in 316/5 BC by the Macedonian general Kassandros, who named it after his wife and half-sister of Alexander the Great, Thessaloniki daughter of Philip II

The city has one of the largest ports in the country and one of the longest seaside promenades in the Balkans

with a length of more than 5 km, from the Concert Hall at one end to the port at the other

this promenade is often used for walks along it by local residents and tourists alike
