We invited language teacher, Vicky Papageorgiou (@vpapage), to introduce us to Thessaloniki, Greece.
Shelly: Which landmark is a must for visitors?
Vicky: Travelers should visit the old fortress up on the hill and the monastery built there, at the place where St Paul preached when he visited Thessaloniki. The view overlooking the city harbor is absolutely gorgeous!
Shelly: What is a popular local dish?
Vicky: Mussel pilaf, which you can watch being made in this video.
Shelly: Describe an activity your English learners enjoy!
Vicky: They love to learn about different cultures and customs.
Thank you, Vicky, for introducing us to Thessaloniki!
