Balkan Postcards 10: Portraits from Thessaloniki

We’ve had a tiring day, and each of us has a severe case of Museum Foot. It’s been fun and varied too. Perhaps I’ll share a portait or four.

This funerary portrait in the Archaeology Museum impressed me. Did this man, who could easily be The Chap Next Door, really live more than 200 years BCE?;
Here’s another figure from the past, Alexander the Great. He’s posing outside the White Tower, part of Thessaloniki’s defences since the Ottoman era.
Spotted on a wall in town. I don’t know any more about it.
I know how this cat feels. Might join her.

I'm retired and living in North Yorkshire, where I walk as often as I can, write, volunteer, and travel as often as I can.

    1. We’re still having a great time. But Thessaloniki is a big, bustling and above all, hot city, so three full days will be enough. Lots of tales still to tell, of course! Xx

  6. Sounds fab. But perhaps just as well your time here is relatively short. Hope with an opoortunity to recover from Museum Foot very soon.

  7. Four wonderfully contrasting figures. The last made me smile as did the reference to Museum Foot. Don’t think that makes me unsympathetic – I may use that one!
