2022 – Early May – Exploring Greece – Thessaloniki, Nafpaktos

Thessaloniki's White Tower
Driving from Litochoro to Thessaloniki the toll road becomes crowded.  It is the second largest city in Greece at just over 800,000.  Our hotel is within a mile of the waterfront.  The streets are crowded with moving and parked cars, with luck we find a place to park on our second tour around the hotel.  I have to use my parallel parking skills to park on the left side of the street, backing uphill into a tight spot.  We celebrate our success, no dents or scratches on our car or any of the ones we squeezed in between.  We pull our carry-ons behind us, check in and learn that by moving the no parking signs belonging to the hotel we can park just outside the hotel door.  One more trip to the car, a long drive around the block and we are set.
