On my first visit to Greece, 1991, I went to the Jewish museum in Athens, introduced me to more Jewish culture than I normally see.
May l recommend a book Salonica..city of ghosts, by Mark Mazower, useful account of a lost Jewish community.
If you’re in the Balkans, please visit the Jewish museum of Berat, Albania, it’s in danger of closure.
