Thessaloniki, the cultural and financial capital of northern Greece, is not just the country’s second-biggest city but also a place with a diverse offering. The city is constantly moving ahead and transforming.
Kalamaria, one of the city’s best-known districts around the country, appears to have been a part of Thessaloniki’s southeast edge from as far back as Byzantine times. The district acquired its modern shape following the Asia Minor Catastrophe of 1922, which resulted in a mass influx of refugees, people who brought with them their culture to shape the profile of the new Thessaloniki suburb. This character has remained intact to this very day. Kalamaria has entered a new phase of development. The seaside road area has become a summer attraction for people from all over the city, while the district’s wide pavements with silver limes and plum trees garner admiration.
Oraiokastro, situated 11 km northeast of Thessaloniki, is also filled with nostalgic memories from Asia Minor. According to accounts provided by older residents of the area, Oraiokastro, meaning “nice castle”, was named as such in remembrance of a synonymous old castle in Pontus, the homeland of Kalamaria’s refugees on the southern coast of the Black Sea. Most recently, Thessaloniki’s Oraiokastro has experienced rapid residential development, increasing demand for homes and prospective businesses in the area. It stands as a leading choice for Thessaloniki residents wanting to go on short excursions close to the city. The location’s man-made lake and its large, lush surrounding park are an attraction.
