The rest of the weekend in Thessaloniki I spent getting to know this new city by doing the following...
visiting museums
Museum of Byzantine Culture
looking at ancient remains....
Arch of Galerius - built around A.D. 305 to celebrate a victory over the Persians a few years earlier. As you can see - it's not all there now.
and
Roman Agora - with a theatre that still hosts shows
Getting lost - at least i found a great view of the city and harbor and the old town wall
And of course drinking beers and eating good food!
cheese croquettes and Mythos beer - according to its label it is premium quality - are there different levels of quality??
But at last my time here is up and so I'm off to airport to battle the pushy greeks to get my seat on the airplane and return to athens.
