Excursion to the capital of Macedonia
Description:
Thessaloniki has its own ancient history, you can talk about it for a long time, starting with the time of Philip II, the Eastern campaign of Alexander the Great, etc., following the Roman period, where the events of the Roman civil war begin to take place around the city.
This is a city: the northern capital of Greece, Historical Macedonia, founded by the Macedonian king - Cassander and named after the half-sister of Alexander the Great. Without nationality and the city of all nations; ancient temples and monasteries; Called the second Jerusalem not Hellenistic, but rather Byzantine Thessaloniki City-myth in which all the contours are deceptive and shaky, a fantastic place where West and East met and looked at each other with curiosity and deaf hidden hatred Thessaloniki - the center of the Balkans and at the same time the place where Balkan history is washed by the Aegean Sea, the complex depth of the still unresolved problems St. Paul the Apostolniki visited during his journey to the city of Thesal. You can make this way: visit the monastery of Vlatadon and look at Thessaloniki from above, talk about the Byzantine city, about magnificent temples and monasteries.
It will take a very long time to see the monuments of the Great Age of the spread of Christianity.
No, they're not monuments. These are active temples. If we start our tour of Thessaloniki early in the morning, we can take part in the Divine Liturgy and learn how Thessalonica looked like during the time of St. Gregory Palamas.
There is no other city in the world where we can feel the spirit of Byzantium. It actually exists in Thessaloniki. And, of course, on Athos, where we can also go on a pilgrimage to monasteries and even climb to the top of the Holy Mountain.
I love this city. I am deeply interested in his story. And I think I can tell it in a way that my interlocutors will love him forever and want to come here again and again.
