Thessaloniki - a large city founded by the Macedonian king Cassander and named after his wife. This is the northern capital of Greece with developed infrastructure and the status of the resort city on the background of the size of about a million residents! This is a rarity, as Thessaloniki is also an industrial center with many factories and enterprises. Thanks to this combination, properties in Thessaloniki are convenient not only for recreation, but also for moving to a permanent residence.
Greece has a great climate and a sea, friendly locals and excellent conditions for running your own business, especially in Thessaloniki. The city offers excellent access points: a port, which occupies the second place in terms of cargo turnover in the country, a metro, which is scheduled to be launched in 2016 and the Macedonia Airport, providing worldwide air transportation of passengers. It is ease to find work in many areas – this is a major center of both trade and production in the areas such as pharmaceuticals, tobacco and food production.
