Thessaloniki, the ancient port city on the Aegean Sea, is Greece’s second largest city. This vibrant city is strewn with ancient monuments and historic remains from its Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman eras. The city’s old Byzantine walls and bathhouse are worth a visit, but its truly landmark monuments are the White Tower of Thessaloniki and the Arch of Galerius. Thessaloniki’s patron saint is St. Demetrios, whose remains are to be found in a lovely old church. After strolling around town, the waterfront public square of Aristotelous is the perfect spot to settle down with a glass of wine or ouzo.
