Excellent video! Also there is the Museum of Photography-Momus- at the ol port near the Ladadika area and the municipal painting museum in an 18th century Italian building (at Agia Sofia str , about 7 euros taxi from the center). In summer you may take the bus for the Halkidiki beaches (about 2hrs on the bus).

Hi guys from Athens! Thessaloniki was once home to Greece's largest and thriving (at the time) Jewish community! Greek Jews once formed a big part of Thessaloniki's population. Almost the entire jewish population was transported via trains to Nazi Germany during WW2 and most of them died/were murdered in concentration camps between 1941 and 1944. 😔

Awesome vlog, thank you! And to answer your first question (although i doubt you'll like the answer), Thessaloniki being an ancient city on a water front, has all the pluming based in gravity. That means all the clean water come from the mountains around it (mt. Hortiatis being the primary source of fresh water for almost millennia) and the waste down hill, into Thermaikos (the water front). Hence there are no beaches surrounding the city. You got some beautiful places though around the city that would take you 45minutes to an hour getting there. Again thank you for your vlog!

What happens is that God is already ready to give victory, but the people still have to be worked on, there are still a lot of dirt on people's heads, a lot of idolatry, a lot of lying, a lot of pornography, a lot of corruption, a lot of infidelity, a lot of adultery Finally, God treats those who approach Him in the same way as impure silver, where lead is placed and taken to the fire, and when lead is consumed and pure silver is found. But the enemies are mistaken in believing that with the cunning of darkness they can defeat a nation that has chosen to seek help from the Almighty God. GOD makes it clear that he takes care of every detail, taking at what seems to be the last hour, a little leg or ear of one of his servants from the claws and mouths of lions, or the snare and snares. Our biggest concern always has to be to give God the right place in our lives, the rest are consequences of our good choice, choosing to walk in the old paths, already proven and approved, which our adversaries have rejected. Despite all the efforts made for more than 2000 years, these people insist on resorting to cheap solutions because at first glance they seem to be ADVANTAGES, only for a small and select group, but that we all know; they are ways of death, for they are conjured with lies. There is nothing more futuristic, good and perfect than what is offered to us by the great I Am, who knows how to sit down and rise from each member of his body, and visits each one, giving a well-defined north, and so on. as a lighthouse, this body by its good works, attracts the nations to glorify the creator, for the hope of liberation
