Paying extra attention to detail, we are commited to fulfilling the expectations of each of our guests. The capital of macedonia and second largest city of greece. It was first established in 316 b.c. By kassandros and named after his wife thessaloniki, sister of alexander the great. It is here that paul, the apostle of nations, first brought the message of christianity (50 a.d. ) and that demetrius, a roman officer died in martyrdom, thus becoming the holy patron of the city for ever (303 a.d.). Thessaloniki becomes the second important city of the byzantine empire, next to constantinople, ornamented with numerous majestic and glamorous architectural works that display all forms of byzantine art. After this illustrious era, the enemies take over. But each time, after every catastrophe, thessaloniki reexalts her splendour, dressed in her eternal garment of ancient and byzantine glory. Today thessaloniki with its university and the international trade fair- a crossroad for peoples? friendship and collaboration- is a lively modern city bustling with life and movement. Large avenues, parks and squares, lines of trees that frame commercial streets with showy shop-windows. Old houses, neoclassical buildings, modern dwellings. Yesterday meets today at old taverns, ?ouzeries?, restaurants next to hotels and luxury bars, ?bouzouki halls? (thessaloniki is the cradle of greek music ?rembetiko?) cinema halls, theatres and confectioner?s shop that arrange their seats and tables on street pavements and squares. Small taverns and basement pastry shops offer a delicious variety of famous macedonian specialties. The upper city (ano poli), full of poetry and charm. Neighborhoods with narrow streets and lovely small gardens. Popular songs and sweet smell of night flowers. The international exhibition of thessaloniki (helexpo), centralizes visitors from all over the world. Apart from this exhibition during all year you will find a big amount of departmental exhibitions with visitors from greece and neighbor countries. The shops in commercial streets of thessalonik |
