Thessaloniki, Greece ❤🇬🇷

We left Sofia by bus and traveled through gorgeous scenery along a river, through a canyon and past farms. As we got closer to Greece, I felt a shift. Whether it was the incredible blue sky or the approach to the sea...I'm not sure but the heaviness of Bulgaria & Romania lifted. The border was simple as our passports were scanned and stamped at the same place. We spent 2 days wandering Thessaloniki including a +4 km walk to an Art Gallery that was closed! (Bob hadn't checked 🤪) The sea front was busy with pirate tour boats, walkers, cyclists, cafes and it seems everyone comes out late afternoon and evening for the sunset. Everyone is friendly, helpful and generous. When you think you are finished dinner, the server appears with dessert and raki, free of charge. Thessaloniki was a lovely re-entry into Greece! Next up: Crete!Read more
