Founded originally in 315 BC, Thessaloniki was named after the wife of King Cassander of Macedon, who was the half-sister of Alexander the Great. Thessaloniki has a diverse past, having been governed by a variety of empires, such as the Romans, Byzantines, Ottomans, and Greeks. Notably, the city is renowned for its stunning architecture, exemplified by the White Tower, an iconic landmark and the symbol of the city. Furthermore, Thessaloniki boasts a lively cultural scene and is recognized as the "co-capital" of Greece due to its vibrant nightlife.
