Wow, we learned so much about THessaloniki from our very knowledgeable tour guide. What a great way to learn about history and culture. My 16 year old son, and I tried foods that we had never had even though we’ve been to Greece several times. The food in northern Greece has more diversity and it was fun to try delicious foods.
