For all Orthodox and generally for the Greeks the most exceptional holiday of all. That is why we want to describe a most beautiful cities and you to imagine what Thessaloniki is all about.
Thessaloniki is a city with rich history and exciting time full of life and energy.
Thessaloniki is the next largest city in Greece since Athens. It was founded by the Macedonian king Cassander in 315 BC Is it the name of his wife Thessaloniki, sister of Alexander the greatest. Her father, Philip II, named it in honor of his victory over Thessalian. The name can be translated as "beating Thessalians". Standout streets, parks and squares make for a friendly meadows and tree lines. There are ancient houses and neoclassical buildings, stand side by side with new structures.
The people of Thessaloniki are in Greece for his generosity, well popular of its generosity the territory is glorious for its big kitchen - no one can oppose the delicious pastries and cakes, do not forget one of the many taverns that offer popular Greek dishes. One of the much glorious sites is the White Tower of Thessaloniki Levkos.
Pyrgos or White Tower in Thessaloniki - this is one of the main attractions of the state and its symbol Situated on the quayside marina of Thessaloniki "Nikki" Built by Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent - there are in the east with the sea wall grade.
Lovely breathtaking standpoint, move us to another time in another realm. The tower is cylindrical with a top part of 33.90 meters and a diameter of 22.70 m. It is on the base floor and six floors connected by a curled shape staircase. In the time past the tower was the Turks to prison, where they used killed many revolutionaries and enemies of the Ottoman Empire, she was called Bloody Tower by the end of the 19th century. From then on the tower is painted white and has since named it the White Tower. Presently is it is the Byzantine Museum. Next to it is a beautiful Greek restaurant where we have done our snack and glass of wine from Thessaloniki to the Church of St. Demetrius stoned. St. Demetrius -The biggest Orthodox church in Thessaloniki is the patron saint of the City. In the Church are the remains of most saints.
Saint Demetrius was born in Thessaloniki in the third century. His dad was mayor of the territory and secretly believed in Christ. When the young man killed his parents, Emperor Maximilian appointed him a high military posts with the object of persecution Christians. Growing up in the Christian canon Dimitar no such intentions and began instantly to glorify Jesus Christ to help and began to spread of Christianity. Once this is known, appealed Emperor Maximilian of Dimitry to abandon their faith, but he refused, was thrown into prison and later stabbed with a spear in the 306 years. Though Emperor Constantine stop persecution against the Christians, the place where he killed Demetrius is a small church built in 413 years and after decided to be grateful for your healing lay in the little church bigger temple to build. The relics were brought in a silver coffin of St. on the display and in the small church, and according to legend, there flowed fragrant oil. Therefore, the Church of St. Dimitar is called on Dimitar Mirotochivi. Still held relics of St. Demetrios in the Basilica, named after his name, where the day of his death in Thessaloniki pilgrims from around the world and generally from the Balkans flow. Approximate there we would be at the greatest prayer stay at Easter.
A bit exhausted anyway but we go on, all things is so breathtaking and exciting that I almost forgot is festive time and space. Magic all around and we without a doubt like the streets are adorned with oil and palm branches, the windows of the shops are overloaded with Easter eggs and all that tastes like spring flowers and sunshine. After a short break we fare to St. George Rotunda of nuns and monks, the oldest monument Greece.
After a quick shower and taking a stop in the greece holiday villa we have hired this time for our break, we drive back into the Church of St. Demetrius in the liturgy of Easter. Jam-packed with people celebrating, not only the state but also from additional cities and countries, church, holiday spirits and smiling faces. The beauty of the festival is cast back in the lighted candles. Afterwards Liturgy we go eat dinner in Ladadika. Ladadika is nearby to Aristotle's square where there are many traditional restaurants, stores that sell different brands of ouzo and taverns. Adore the barbecues and interesting recipes as kontosuvli (kontosouvli is a pig on a spit) and gardubes (gardoubes) with a glass of wine or ouzo. If you adore seafood, you will by the mussel pilaf, grilled sardines, seafood, oysters and stuffed squid. Saganaki will be fascinated in one of the tons fish restaurants.
Thessaloniki offers a brand of flavors - classical Greek cooking, Oriental and European cuisine. Production of baked goods and Constantinople kitchen cooking add mystery. It is worthwhile to try classical bugatsa (dough stuffed with cheese or cream), syrupy sweet kadaif joy, and the famous Panorama tulumbi sales. Nightlife in Thessaloniki is famous all over Greece. There are a lot bars, clubs, discos and places of all ages and tastes. Ladadika is a hot point of the city, where to meet young people and as usual all resident and foreign go out there.
Eat, drink and dance up to the break of day without any restrictions. The second morning, is one of the most breathtaking cities in the world is still festive and the sun shines for over Tessaloniki. We will come back again, and will positively take another holiday in greece touring other Greek towns or the perhaps the Greek Islands next time. Yasou Thessaloniki!
