Hi greek friends! I m Bulgarian and I went to Thessaloniki (or Solun in Bulgarian) last week and wanted to say how much I loved the city. Its actually very surprising how Meditarenian this beautiful city is. I loved the white tower, the big walls, the street near the sea, the big terraces, really nice town. The people were friendly and cute. It was over 20 degrees.
I hope I will visit Greece in the summer again for a long vacantion!

Unfortunately I have been only at the Athens airport (catching a flight) and I ve seen it inly from a plane while we were going down. I must say it looked magnificent with those beautiful shores too (It was last winter). Hope I ll go and visit it soon.

In pretty much every Slavic language, I'm pretty sure its called Solun (at least for Serbian I'm sure).

Even the Slavs admire Constantinople alone by calling it Tzarigrad... |
