Thessaloniki Greece
Upon arrival at the second biggest city of Greece, Thesalonikki, we took the really cheap bus to the town centre. The bus cost 2 euros. Great right?
The city seems rather small, that you could be tempted to call it a town. It maybe is the size of Brussels.
Armed with the collection of maps bought in Athens, we roamed the town went to the tiniest contemporary art gallery ever, and a photography gallery, which was alright for their sizes.
The main attraction in town is the white tower, which was a museum about the town full of intrepertation boards, some interactives and hardly any artefacts.
It gets really busy under the white tower on Saturday night, people promenading and sitting around.Quite pleasant.
We stopped by at this place near the white tower to have dessert. It was realy difficult to choose from all the ice cream and the cakes, I didn’t particularly like this cake, it had too much cream, it made me feel really full. The ice cream was good though.
Here are some more pictures of town though.
We also went up the hill and saw the ancient city wall. But there is not much to see, Thesalonikki was alright, but it somehow lack of je ne sais quoi. Have you been there? Have I missed anything?
Wow! I envy you for having traveled much of Europe. I hope to do the same one day. Where in Europe do you currently live? Greece, particularly the island of Santorini, has always been a dream for me. Have you been to Santorini or Mykonos?

At the moment mostly in England, but spend time in Holland too, and obviously other places. No Have not been to Santorini or mykonos, but I am sure. i will soon. Anyway, Europe is not a big deal.. hahahah Your travels seems more amazing as you have seen a Tarsier!!!(⊃‿⊂)
Tarsiers are no big deal for us. My city in the Philippines happens to be very near the island which is their natural habitat.
amazing!! what is the island called?
Bohol. U fortunately, the tarsiers are endangered now. There’s only a few of them left.
