Thessaloniki is the second
largest city of Greece, also the capital
of Macedonia. Its landmark is the White
Tower, and there are many important
sites within easy reach. Apart from
being known as a cosmopolitan and commercial
center, it is also known for its exceptional
nightlife with the famous Ladadika quarter.
Have you ever heard of the "Greek
Blues" - the Rebetica songs?? Well,
these songs were brought into the urban
and poorer port areas of Greece by the
mass of Asia Minor Greek refugees after
the Balkan Wars of 1913 and the fall
of Constantinople in 1921. They are
still very popular today, even with
the younger generation!!! Thessaloniki
was one of the much-favored places where
this music thrived. We will give you
the opportunity to experience live performances
during your stay here. |
