Greece – Thessaloníki (Thessalonica)
In April 2018, 136 company employees visited and enjoyed the beauty of the second largest city in Greece, Thessaloniki.
The bus ride to Belgrade as well as the flight from Belgrade to Greece made this trip especially interesting and exciting.
The starting point of our city tour was the highest part of Thessaloniki, the city that lies on the hillside.
We visited Zejtinlik – a holy Serbian place where 6,600 Serbian soldiers were buried. It covers 7,000 m2 and got its name from the oil market that was there before the cemetery.
We also visited the monument to Alexander III of Macedonia, the White Tower, built by the Turkish Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. He built it and reconstructed it with the intention of guarding the eastern city walls. We were also in the Church of St. Dimitrije, Aristotle Square.
We ended the trip with a visit to Meteora, a complex consisting of 6 monasteries located on natural steep cliffs, which are today the biggest tourist attraction of mainland Greece.
