Thessaloniki

ELEUR €3 walks

Greece's second city and a core sample of empires: Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman monuments stacked one over the last along a single seafront. Climb into Ano Poli, the Upper Town the Great Fire of nineteen seventeen spared, and read the layers the modern grid below replaced. Once the Sephardic 'Jerusalem of the Balkans', its warehouse quarter reborn as tavernas and bars.
