Thessaloniki

We just spent the last several days in Thessaloniki which is the second biggest city in Greece. In our guide book there was a walking tour of the city which included a lot of churches, this seemed like a fun way to explore the city so that's what we did all day. When we were done with the walk we went to a delicious bakery with tons of different desserts. Here is a little photo tour.

Our first destination of the "Tour" was part of the Byzantine Walls.
These walls were built in the 4th century B.C. until the Ottomans
destroyed it in the 19th century.



Some Bells at a Monastery
The Turkish Baths



Church of Agios Dimitrios

Rotunda of Galerius.
Galerius was a Roman emperor in the 4th century A.D.

Arch of Galerius

White Tower
The was a prison and torture chamber until the early 1900's.

  1. What an interesting walking tour! Not to mention delicious way to end the day with delectable desserts. Were you permitted to tour the inside of buildings such as White Tower and Rotunda of Galerius? I imagine it would seem somewhat strange to stand where so much history has occurred.
