Zeitenlik, cemetery in Ampelokipoi, Central Macedonia, Greece

Zeitenlik is a cemetery in Thessaloniki containing over 20,000 graves of soldiers from multiple countries. The site is divided into five sections, with the French section holding about 8,000 graves and the Serbian area containing over 7,500 burials.

The cemetery was established in 1916, growing out of a Serbian military hospital used during World War I. Its final design was completed in 1936 following architect Alexander Vasic's plan, supported by an international agreement from 1920.

The name Zeitenlik comes from the Turkish word zeytin, meaning olive, after the oil market once held here. In the chapel, a chandelier made from spent artillery shell casings from the Salonika front weighs over 200 kg. A glass urn made by the Srpska fabrika stakla of Paraćin holds earth from beneath the Monument to the Unknown Hero on Avala.

The cemetery lies on Mikis Theodorakis Avenue, about 1.5 km from Thessaloniki's city centre, near Metaxas Square. A wide path leads from the main entrance to the chapel and crypt. The Serbian plot is bordered by cypresses brought as seedlings from Hilandar.

The cemetery's first keeper, Savo Mihailović, was buried here in 1928, followed by his son Đuro in 1961 and grandson Đorđe in July 2023, aged 95. A special decree allowed Đorđe to be the last burial at Zeitenlik, where new interments are otherwise forbidden.
