The “great and admirable city” for the Byzantines, the“Athens of the North” during the Turkish rule.
The birthing place of heroes, Macedonians, contributors, politicians, people of economics, spirit, art.
A modern city with a long history, strong present and hopeful tomorrow. Place that captivates, creates emotions and charms visitors with its culture, nature, monuments and landmarks, but also its gastronomy, its beautiful valleys, parks and town squares, busy streets, its emitting vibe and spirit.
