    Day 23 Thessaloniki

    June 3, 2019 in Greece ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    Fun day visiting 4 churches, 2 museums and had my nails done.
    Enjoyed Blue Bottle breakfast of spanakopita, bougatsa, boiled egg, yoghurt and berries and good cappo.
    Agios Demetrious (roman remains underneath), Profit Ilias, Agia Sophia but standout was St Davids with 5th century mosaic looking like an eye!
    Enjoyed the hilly graffiti streets of Ano Poli, look a bit dodgey but perfectly safe. Then spontaneously got nailed for 8 euro.
    Archaelogy museum was unchanged from last visit - gold jewellery, diadems and Diverni crater.
    Lunched at back of white tower at Middle East with excellent falafel, homous and tabouli for 3euro with random english woman who has convinced me to go to Crete.
    Back to the Byzantine museum - good but too much information.
    Dinner again at same place as last night - octopus with fava beans ( i thought it was avacado) and complimentary dessert of stringy baklava base topped with cream.
    Great stay in Thess - 3 days was perfect. Athens tomorrow !
