Beautiful Thessaloniki!
Thessaloniki is the capital of Macedonia, a historical region in northern Greece founded around 315 BC by Cassander, the King of Macedon. Cassander named the new city after his wife Thessalonica, the sister of Alexander the Great. Her father, Philip II of Macedon, had given her that name to commemorate his victory (nike) over the Thessalians. “Thessaly”+ “Nike (victory)”
