Greece
Thessaloniki
Thessaloniki is Greece's second city — Byzantine churches, a waterfront, and the best food in the country, Athenians say.
Thessaloniki is Greece's northern, livable second city — Byzantine churches (UNESCO), a seafront promenade, and a food scene Athenians say beats theirs. Eat at a mezedopoleio, walk the Ladadika, and day-trip to Mt. Olympus and the monasteries of Meteora. It's the gateway to Macedonia and the Greek north.
