Thessaloniki the
capital of Macedonia with its renowned monuments and churches occupied
second place to Constantinople during the Byzantine years. At about
the same time the cities Veria, Kastoria, Serres, Edessa and Servia
also flourished.
Summer is the most interesting period of the year for the areas
of coastal Pieria, Thessalonica, Kassandra and Sithonia in Halkidiki
and not one to forget the quiet and relaxing area of Ouranoupolis
at the beginning of Athos peninsula, from which or from Ierissos
daily short cruises are leading you from a distance of 300 meters
to the divine scenery of all Holy Monasteries standing there for
centuries either inside or on the coast.
Macedonia, one of the most gifted areas of Greece, is definitely worth a visit. |
