Day 5

THESALONIKI

Thessaloniki is a prominent Greek port city, ranking as the second largest in Greece. Situated on the Thermaic Gulf of the Aegean Sea, the city showcases a rich historical tapestry, with remnants of Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman eras. Particularly in Ano Poli, the upper town, you will encounter compelling traces of these civilizations.

During the Byzantine Empire, Thessaloniki held the distinction of being the second largest and wealthiest city. Following its conquest by the Ottomans in 1430, it remained a significant seaport and a multicultural metropolis for nearly five centuries. On November 8, 1912, Thessaloniki transitioned from Ottoman rule to becoming part of the Kingdom of Greece.

Thessaloniki boasts a remarkable architectural heritage, including numerous Paleochristian and Byzantine monuments, designated as a World Heritage Site. The city also encompasses noteworthy Roman, Ottoman, and Sephardic Jewish structures. Unfortunately, much of the city center was devastated in the Great Fire of 1917. However, it was rebuilt in the 20th century with a modern European layout.
