Back in Thessaloniki
I'm back in Thessaloniki on my way to Langada and Mt. Athos. I was last here in March on my way to Istanbul. Now I'm here for a week-long stay in northern Greece before heading all the way down south.
I don't have any fun anecdotes of note at the moment. I'm just staying in Thessaloniki as a stopover. The picture above is of the "Lefkos Pirgos" (White Tower) which was part of a larger fortress that used to defend the city from sea attacks. For a while it was used as an Ottoman prison, and now it's a museum with great views of the city on the top.
Also, last night, the city was transfixed by the Eurovision song contest which was won by Finland with their representative band Lordi.
