Thessaloniki is the second bigest Greek city after Athens. It's settled in the north of Greece in the ancient and proud, eternal Greek land of Macedonia.
The city has a history of more than 2,300 years and took its name from Thessaloniki, sister of Alexander the Great.

  • Giati emeis pou zoume re sy vasava kopane anthellina kai prodoti, mallon esy den eisai Thessalonikios gia na milas etsi pseuftoanarxike vasava

  • Thessaloniki was a Byzantine Greek city back then, and Macedonians like myself, we always were, we are and we will always be Greek people. I'm from Thessaloniki you idiot vardarskagypsiekid. And dont try to lie by quoting non existant things that you made up from your mind.

  • The city was named after Kassandros wife Thessaloniki, the daughter of Macedonian Greek King Philippos and sister of Alexander the Great. Two decades earlier King Philippos had staged a decisive victory for his Thessalian allies at Chaeronia. The daughter born to Philippos that year was named Thessaloniki (that means Thessalian victory - Thessalon Niki) to commemorate it

  • Thessaloniki has always been one of the largest Greek cities. For a while it even became the capital city of the Roman emperor Galerius. In the Byzantine times it was the second largest and most important city after Konstantinoupolis. Today Thessaloniki is the 2nd major Greek city after Athens.

  • In 316 BC, Kassandros, King of the Hellenic kingdom of Makedonia, established a new city in the cove of the Thermaikos Golf. Before some settlemnets and villages existed in the area even from the neolithic age (Like the classical city of Therme and the prehistorical settlement of Toumba).

  • what is the Macedonian Slav nation?

    "what is the Macedonian Slav nation? Macedonian as a nationality has never existed, they will say, and it does not exist now. There have always been two Slav nationalities in Macedonia: Bulgarian and Serbian. So, any kind of Macedonian Slav national revival is simply the empty concern of a number of fantasists who have no concept of South Slav history."-Misirkov Krste

  • The President Of F.Y.R.O.M Said it in a speech In america that there is a great confusion to his people and that you guys are related to the ancient Greek Macedons and that you guys arent related to the aelxander the greek ? and p.s macedonia wasnt a country in the ancient times it was a region called macedon People in ancient Greece greeks were seperate they werent united there where only city states !!
