Discovering the Hidden History of Thessaloniki, Greece
By Marni Patterson
Thessaloniki is the second-largest city in Greece and the capital of Macedonia. In ancient times, it was a major trading hub due to its location along the Roman Via Egnatia road connecting it to major commerce centers like Rome and Byzantium (now Istanbul).
Today, visitors flock to popular sites like the White Tower, the Archaeological Museum and the Museum of Byzantine Culture to learn about Thessaloniki’s rich past. Visitors who go off the beaten path, like I did, can discover intriguing, little-known facts about the city’s fascinating hidden history.
