Thessaloniki, a large city with over 1 million inhabitants, is the largest urban center in Northern Greece. It is located in the fertile land that stretches around the rivers Axios, Gallikos, and Loudias, the lakes Koronia and Volvi, and the seas of Thermaikos and Strymonikos Gulf.
The modern element of the city blends harmoniously with history, as reflected in its archaeological sites, Byzantine churches, and interesting monuments from different periods that survive today in the city in a rare and charming coexistence.
