Car Hire Salonica / Macedonia Airport - Mini guide to Salonica / Macedonia Airport
Salonica, also known as Thessaloniki, is the capital of the northern region of Macedonia in Greece. The country’s second-largest city is a bustling place with a deeply-rooted cultural past. It is a city undergoing constant change, offering a large number of activities for the curious visitor to undertake. These include visiting Byzantine and Roman sites, museums, and famous ruins. You can also enjoy the city’s nightlife, shopping amenities, and delicious food in traditional taverns called “ouzeries”.
Salonica’s archaeological museum is considered to be one of the finest in Europe. It is home to the magnificent treasures from the tomb of Phillip of Macedon, father to Alexander the Great. The city also boasts a myriad of beautiful churches, most of them from the Byzantine era. The most important of these is probably the church of Saint George. Once a mausoleum for the Roman Emperor Galerius, it has been dated back to the 4th century AD.
The city is famous for its economically-priced and lively ouzo taverns where you can find delectable home-made Macedonian specialties. For those who are looking forward to a shopping spree, Tsimiski and Proxenou Koromila are good places to go; they also have many cafes to sit down in when you need to take a break.
Salonica is a great starting point for travelers who want to rent a car and take short trips out of the city. Some of these destinations include the beaches of the Halkidikí peninsula, the Mount Olympus coast, and the city of Pella, birthplace of Alexander the Great.
