Stoa of Attalos - Columns for Days!
Did you know the Stoa of Attalos was built between 159 BC - 138 BC. The impressive columns measured over 116 m long and 20 m deep, with two rows of 45 columns. It was used to house shops and businesses for the Athenians. Some say it was the first ancient shopping centre! - SeenByNina

Day Trip from Thessaloniki - Mount Olympus
In Greek mythology Mount Olympus was the home of 12 gods and the throne of thunderbolt-throwing Zeus. It’s the highest mountain in Greece standing at 2917m. From Thessaloniki, it only takes an hour to get to Litochoro, where you will find nine climbing routes to Mount Olympus.

Here we are, new year and new me but although this is overly said and usually ends at 00:01am on the 1st January, I want to try my hardest in 2018 to make the year mine. I don’t mean trying to overrun the world, but I want to end the year knowing I’ve done everything I wanted to do (or at least tried) so I made a little list of goals that I hope I can achieve during the next 12 months. Keep up…
