Visit to Thessaloniki during New Year's holidays... Docks - Thessaloniki Just two days for visiting city of more than 1 million inhabitants, impossible task?

Sunday visit on the 1st of january to St. Naum... One of the nicest monastery complex in the region. It has been very crowded, even in the morning on the first day of the year. Lots of people come to visit this place through the year, because of it`s beauty and cultural heritage. Built by the St. Naum of Ohrid himself, it was established in the Bulgarian Empire in year 905. St. Naum is also buried in the church. Panorama of entrance to the monastery complex - St. Naum
