…but we really like Thessaloniki! There are many options for great restaurants, a long walkway along the water, friendly people, antiquities, and if we were inclined, many shopping possibilities. We’ve enjoyed dining outdoors and the food has been fresh and delicious.
It has been a quiet Sunday as people are spending time with families for the Orthodox Easter holiday. We walked around town and saw the Arch of Galerius;
and the Church of Hagia Sofia.
The city has a Mediterranean feel with palm trees and vistas of the water.
Parts of the city are a bit gritty – there is graffiti everywhere,
…mixed with high-end shops.
The skies have been blue and the red bud trees are in bloom.
It’s hard to believe we’ve been here five days already! We’ve had a great time but tomorrow we fly back to Athens, pick up a rental car to drive around the Peloponnese! Hoping for more good weather and safe travels!
