GO Thessaloniki’s busiest street, Egnatia, offers a selection of shops, restaurants and churches, as well as three main squares and several archaeological highlights to see. NO WAY! Thessaloniki’s population almost doubled with the infl ux of Greek refugees after the Asia Minor disaster in 1922–23.
