Thessaloniki Cruises: Best Cruises to Thessaloniki
The history of Thessaloniki dates back to the 4th century B.C. The town was named by General Kassander for his wife, who was the half-sister of Alexander the Great. Its Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman roots and history are represented in 15 UNESCO World Heritage Sites located throughout the city. From 1913, when Macedonia was annexed to Greece, until World War II, the town was also known as Salonika.
Thessaloniki is an important trade hub in southeastern Europe and is known as a vibrant cultural and gastronomic mecca thanks to impressive waterfront art installations like the Umbrellas Zongopolous and a wealth of restaurants serving fresh seafood and classic Greek cuisine.
