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.

Check out the monasteries there as well with amazing views and on a clear day you can see Mt Olympus across the bay.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5593 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8456
