                <description><![CDATA[Thessaloniki is usually overlooked by visitors to Greece as it lacks an outstanding feature like Athens’ Acropolis. However, it is in many ways a more interesting city with a far more turbulent and diverse history from the times of Alexander the Great through to the Byzantine and Ottoman eras. <br><br>It’s a city you need to explore as it’s quite hard to find the interesting monuments in the chaos of the modern city. Thessaloniki was burned down in 1917 and of the wooden buildings only the Anopoli survived, this used to be the old Ottoman quarter and with its narrow cobbled streets and charismatic overhanging houses it’s a magical escape and it has the best tavernas in the city. <br><br>Check out the monasteries there as well with amazing views and on a clear day you can see Mt Olympus across the bay.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Ladadika is what remains of the Jewish quarter (Thessaloniki had a huge Jewish population until the war). It’s a very small area but one of the nicest places to eat in the city centre and has a style like Dublin's Temple Bar. Its also one of the few places where you get a feel for what Thessaloniki must have been like before the fire.<br><br>Also if you want to experience one of the best nightlifes in Greece, walk from Ladadika along the seafront to the white tower where the party never seems to end.]]></description>
