A city with a history of over 2300 years, the second largest in Greece, the birthplace of great personalities and ideas, situated at a strategic position in the Balkan peninsula, where East meets West. Cosmopolitan, charming, mysterious, enchanting and friendly, Thessaloniki was and will always be unique in every aspect.
The statue of Alexander the Great, riding on top of his faithful horse Bucephalus, is situated at the Nea Paralia (“New Seafront”). The statue was erected in 1973-74 and is more than 6 meters high. It is very close to the White Tower, the landmark monument of Thessaloniki. There are many more attractions to see when you are walking along the Nea Paralia, such as thematic parks, sculptures, museums, trip boats, street artists, restaurants, you name it. When the sun shines, a walk by the seafront looking at one side the busy streets loaded with cars and shops with thousands of people and at the other side the sea of Thermaikos Gulf with cargo ships crossing to the port, can be quite a rejuvenating experience!
Warm regards to all, may your days be brilliant with light and joy!

Néa Kaméni, en griego Νέα Καμένη, es una pequeña isla volcánica deshabitada de Grecia ubicada en el mar Egeo, en el centro de la caldera inundada de Santorini. Constituye la parte activa del volcán que dio nacimiento a las islas actuales del archipiélago de Santorini.
Nea Kameni y el vecino islote de Palea (o Palia) Kameni (Nueva Quemada y Vieja Quemada) se formaron en los últimos dos milenios por las repetidas erupciones de lava dacita y cenizas. El historiador romano Dion Casio registró en el año 47: "Este año, un pequeño islote, hasta ahora desconocido, apareció cerca de la isla de Thera (Santorini)."
Las principales erupciones de los últimos 300 años tuvieron lugar en 1707-1712, 1866-1870 (se fusionó con el islote de Mikri Kaméni), 1925-1928, y 1939-1941.[1] La última erupción, pequeña, sucedió en 1950 y produjo la extrusión del domo de lava.
Néa Kaméni, est une île volcanique de Grèce située en mer Égée, dans le centre de la caldeira de Santorin. Elle constitue la partie active du volcan ayant donné naissance aux îles actuelles de l'archipel de Santorin. L'île qui culmine à 150 mètres d'altitude est couronnée par un cratère.

"New Paphos" was the term used in antiquity for the Hellenistic and Roman parts of the town. The place is now an archaeological site. These two pieces of a column found in the vicinity of the "Villa of Theseus", a 2nd century AD Roman government building, demonstrate two or three things: the way the sandstone columns were interlocking, the fact that they were covered in plaster, and thirdly, that, very likely, they were painted.
A small uninhabited Greek island of volcanic origin located in the Aegean Sea, within the flooded Santorini caldera. Nea Kameni and the neighbouring small island Palea Kameni (the new and old burnt islands) have formed over the past two millennia through repeated eruptions of lava and ash. (from Wikipedia)

La caldeira de Santorin est une grande caldeira principalement submergée , située dans le sud de la mer Égée , à 120 kilomètres au nord de la Crète en Grèce . Visible au-dessus de l'eau est le groupe circulaire d'îles de Santorin, composé de Santorin ( Thera grecque classique ), l'île principale, Therasia et Aspronisi à la périphérie, et les îles Kameni au centre. Il a été désigné volcan de la décennie.
La caldeira mesure environ 12 km sur 7 km (7,5 sur 4,3 mi), avec des falaises abruptes de 300 m (980 pi) de haut sur trois côtés.
Il y a deux petites îles volcaniques au centre de la caldeira, Nea ("Nouveau") Kameni et Palea ("Ancien") Kameni .
L'île principale, Santorin a une superficie de 75,8 km 2 (29,3 milles carrés), Therasia 9,3 km 2 (3,6 milles carrés) et les îles inhabitées de Nea Kameni 3,4 km 2 (1,3 milles carrés), Palea Kameni 0,5 km 2 ( 0,19 mille carré) et Aspronisi 0,1 km 2 (0,039 mille carré).
Les hautes murailles de Santorin, drapées de villages blanchis à la chaux, combinées à un climat ensoleillé et à de bonnes conditions d'observation, en ont fait un pôle d'attraction pour les volcanologues, ainsi qu'un point culminant du tourisme dans la mer Égée.

"New Paphos" was the term used in antiquity for the Hellenistic and Roman parts of the town. The place is now an archaeological site. Seen here are some of the remnants of a very large Roman villa (2nd century AD), the official residence of the Pro-Consul in charge of the island of Cyprus. The villa has been called the house of "Theseus" due to a floor mosaic that is shown in the next image.
