Tile Heart

Cutest street art

This "Tile Heart" in Thessaloniki is a heart made of tiny tiles on the seafront! The unique street art is one of the reasons I love my city so much...

St. Nikolaos Orfanos Church

A paradise on earth

A must-see gem of Thessaloniki is a tiny church in Ano Poli (Upper City) district, hidden behind an enclosure. Its name is Agios Nikolaos Orfanos (St. Nicholas of the Orphans).

Holy Apostles Church

Another taste of Byzantium

One of my favorite Byzantine monuments in Thessaloniki is the church of the Holy Apostles. What makes it unique is the combination of gorgeous frescoes and mosaics; even though the latter, only fragments are preserved!
