Description:
This important commercial port lies at the head of the Gulf of Thermai. Although it is a huge industrial city, Thessaloniki has many interesting archaeological sites and museums encompassing its Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman history.
It is visible from a long distance off with large commercial ships anchored in the bay and the cranes on the docks easily sighted from afar.
This is a popular place to leave the boat during the summer months if
returning home for any reason, as the airport is just a short distance
away.
Entrance Notes and Cautions:
There is a traffic separation scheme in the Gulf and off Thessaloniki, so commercial ships have right of way. Keep a listening watch on VHF Channel 16.
Position:
40° 34.54' N, 22° 56.45' E (Aretsou marina)
