Igor, our Northern Macedonian Airbnb host, drives us, quickly!, from Ohrid to Thessaloniki and tells us his ideas about politics, culture and history along the way.
Thessaloniki
WALKING THESSALONIKI STREETS (IT’S SUMMER!)
Try as we might to slow down, it’s hard when a city offers so much. But did it at our pace…no tour…The White Tower, Rotunda, and more.

It was a sad day, learning of the treatment of Jews in Thessaloniki, where once they constituted more than 50% of the city’s population, and now only 7,000 remain.
HAGIA SOPHIA, YACHT CLUB BAR AND SCOOTER RIDE, THESSALONIKI
An easy day in Thessaloniki — walking the boardwalk, riding a scooter, hanging at Ciel, visiting Hagia Sophia church.
TRAVEL FATIGUE FOLLOWS US TO ATHENS
An stylish train ride on a Greek train that seemed to come right out of the movies. It took us from Thessaloniki to Athens.
