What to See in Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece (B)

Making pages like this really bore the hell out of me. But with a city like Thessaloniki, which has seen so much history and so many cultures I can't really leave out a page on what to see in the daytime, even if for most people the day is something you have to get through so you can go out at night.

When I first wrote this I got the information from actual guidebooks and by the time I updated it the wonders of google had made everything easier. Most of these places are within walking distance if you are staying somewhere central. For those who are looking for something more organized Fantasy Travel's Northern Greece Tour includes Thessaloniki and the most important sites in Macedonia as well as the Monasteries of Meteora.

The Galerian Arch (Kamara) erected shortly before 305 AD to commemorate the victory of Galerius over the Persians. The Roman Market and Theatre are located at the Law Court Square (Dikastiria) south of Egnatia street. Also nearby are The Roman Baths just north of the church of Agios Dimitrios and the Nymphaion, an elegant monopteral, circular building. ......
