Thessaloniki, Port city in Macedonia region, Greece
Located at the northern end of the Thermaic Gulf, Thessaloniki features a waterfront promenade connecting the Photography Museum and Concert Hall.
Founded in 315 BCE by King Cassander of Macedonia, the city developed into a major commercial center along the Via Egnatia during Roman times.
The Archaeological Museum holds artifacts from ancient Macedonia, while the Museum of Byzantine Culture displays 3000 objects from the Byzantine Empire period.
The central markets of Modiano and Kapani offer local products including olives, spices, herbs, traditional Greek cheeses, meat, and fresh fish.
The White Tower, built in 1535, transformed from a prison known as the Tower of Blood into the current landmark after a complete white paint makeover.
