Excellent video! Also there is the Museum of Photography-Momus- at the ol port near the Ladadika area and the municipal painting museum in an 18th century Italian building (at Agia Sofia str, about 7 euros taxi from the center). In summer you may take the bus for the Halkidiki beaches (about 2hrs on the bus).

BTW Thessaloniki was Alexander's half sister and Kasander's wife. He brought people from 26 surrounding settlements and created the city named after her in 316 bc

2 days is not enough time to get to know and understand Thessaloniki (named after the sister of Alexander the Great) but you managed to make a nice video!
Food and nightlife is a big part of it and the beaches that are 20 minutes ofcourse!
In Athens please visit the Musem of Ancient Technology! It's mind blowing what people did 2000+ years back!

[kmatinaki]

Hey guys!Really like your calm and easy going approach!Well done for feeding the cats ❤

I lived in Thessaloniki for 2 years and you guys stepped in places i never did in this town! The history backround you provided was super accurate and the whole production of the video so professional! I am already a subscriber!!!

[antimimoniakos]

Welcome to our town. I hope you had great time.

Hi guys from Athens!
Thessaloniki was once home to Greece's largest and thriving (at the time) Jewish community! Greek Jews once formed a big part of Thessaloniki's population. Almost the entire jewish population was transported via trains to Nazi Germany during WW2 and most of them died/were murdered in concentration camps between 1941 and 1944. 😔

Cool video, I'm glad you visited Thessaloniki! It would also be great if you had visited the Ano Poli (Upper City) with the Byzantine walls and the Heptapyrgion, but at least you got to visit the central and most famous monuments! Anyway, great video! 👍

[Marloywolf]

[MattandRachelTravel]

[parisPONTOS]

I’m from Thessaloniki but I’m living in Germany, I hope was having a beautiful time there, I’m to lover of history 😅

[Mixos_place]

don't you guys go at night. the ladadika are buzzing after 9pm. Well it was like that 10 years ago when I visited.Actually most of Greece has a nightlife after dark, that is completely different to what happens during the day.Awaiting your next installment.

[stvkha]

thank you so much for showing my city with such a great video.

[konstantinosgeorgelis]

You should have payed a visit to the citadel (you can see the site in 3:36) during the night. It's a medieval site with miles of walls and many towers. The night view from the main fort (TRIGONIOU TOWER) is breathtaking. Great video though, and we hope to see you back soon!

Thessaloniki was settled since prehistory.
Actually there are excavation sites in the Toumba district.
