The Metro should extend to the Airport in time

The excavations didn’t start back at the 80s. The politicians said many times that the excavations will start (1979, 1989, 1996, 2005 etc) but the excavations started at 2008-09. It took them 16 years to dig, for 4 main reasons: 1)some people pocket the money 2)they found much more ancient artifacts than they expected 3)the ground of Thessaloniki wasn’t easy 4)the communists and other leftists delayed the excavations for political reasons

What you see are the “remains”. Everything else will be in the museum, eventually

the mandarin you see in the street is actually bitter oranges they used for decorations and also because its most effective at absorbing large amount of co2 from the atmosphere

Unfortunately, this small Metro is a showcase project for the city and will not contribute to economic and tourist development because it does not connect the industrial area with working-class neighborhoods, the railway station with the port, the intercity bus station, the airport and the picturesque fishing villages opposite the city.

Salonika had trams from 1896-1956 suburban train from 1915-1949 and 2 main railway stations from the 1870s connecting the city with east Macedonia, Serbia and Paris and Constantinople.

Athens has metro since 1869

Nice Vid. and very Amazing Metro System that i never thought in my lifetime will see in THessaloniki!😁...Going to the Metro stations and same time visiting....museums is pretty Dope and obviously a 'greek' thing, also automatic Metro trains (driverless) is something very new, anyways tnx for showing us how this very beautiful - awsome metro system of Salonica is from within for ppl (greeks especially) that live abroad for many many yrs, keep it up and hope ur YT channel grows and expands, , God Bless, and Greetings from Greek Ex pats in Canada!

06:53 ouch!!

The prime minister was at the depot to inaugurate the metro system. The speaches overran a bit and they only opened the station entrance gates when he hit the button to send the first train onto the system. It's a nice metro system and I hope it helps to take cars out of the city.

You can be proud of your city. good for you and environment.

Great video .. very informative. Well done !!!

Metro my city Thessaloniki- Greece is very important. I support!

GREEK ECONOMY IS GETTING STRONGER AND STRONGER HEAPS BETTER THAN TURKISH ECONOMY

My hometown actually looking like a modern city, how refreshing

This befor 100 was part of Macedonia. Cus of that this is called Egejska Macedonia. Lot of macedonia people was progon fron Solun. So for you info this is Macedonian antic city. Tnx for video.

The will be upclose visitations on the ancient site but they are not sure yet on how exactly is gonna work. Probably some type of organised tour

ChatGPT says that the "weeping eyes" graffiti in Kavala, Greece, is a prominent feature of the city's street art, created by an artist known as Diro. Often painted in various locations such as walls, doors, and buildings, these eyes have become a symbolic and recognisable part of the urban landscape. They evoke a sense of mystery and connection as they appear to "watch" passers-by, sparking curiosity and interpretation among residents and visitors. While specific interpretations vary, such art invites reflections on surveillance, empathy, and social commentary. The eyes have become an informal emblem of Kavala’s street art identity, representing both the creativity of its community and the evolving narrative of the city's visual culture.

Great video. When will the riute be on Google maps?

at the end of 2025 the extention of kalamaria wll be opened. As a resident of thessaloniki i havent visited the metro yet because at the first days the ticket is free and its litterally full, people are going there just to see it and not use it.maybe i will start to use it by the next week

I hope they wont paint everything with grafitti or destroy anything

Nice video! Do you live permanently in Thessaloniki?

Ok now I see! This was the opening day which explains why it opened later. It was supposed to be presented at 12 so it was not delayed at all actually.

I don't know why the station was closed? It should be open from 05:30. This metro project started 2006 so it took 18 years to open mainly because of the vast antiquities discovered.

hey you have my flatmate's hat!! give it back girl

Very proud and happy that we have metro underground. After so many many years it's finish. The best will be in the future to build for the airport and west side. Will be great. And also clean the water in center so that tourists can go to the beach directly in the center.

14':24" This is St. Sophia church in Constantinople (today Istanbul). It is the biggest Orthodox church in the world, and its size is just as you can see in the picture.

They are saying that the thessaloniki metro is a "jewel", not only for Greece, but for all Europe too. I don't know if they are exaggerating, but it seems really nice

Wearing this scarf is the best way to blend in to our city

16:10 an ex girlfriend of mine 🤣🤣

Thanks a lot for your video! I felt as if i rode the metro along with you! One piece of info: There are no trash bins inside the stations for security reasons! I visited Helsinki last year. It was very nice. Porvoo was very picturesque. And Suomenlina, too.

Correction : archaeological pisses were found are from 340bc, not 1000 year old. Greeks tach the DNA of city thessaloniki at the beginning

I can't wait to visit it .I will be there at 31 of December.

Something else of note: given the Athens Metro, especially the underground lines, there's no trash on the stations or trains barely ever so. It will be much better in Thessaloniki.

All stations opened on Saturday, not 70% of it.

Archeological hype !!!! Offers nothing practical buses are much better...😅😅😅

The archaeologists delayed the project countless times, not always expressing genuine concerns, just complaining and blocking everything. The Venizelou station alone delayed the delivery of the whole project for over a year. Lots of discussions, debates and fruitless arguments, on issues like whether the items should be removed or not. Finally it was decided to remove them temporarily, build the station and position them back upon completion. They still... weren't satisfied, characterizing the procedure as a "crime". The case even had to be fought under courts. Finally it's over fortunately.

Νo one thinks of vandalizing ancient artifacts in Greece. They are considered sacred,at least for Greeks

Nice video

Dear hosts, the archeological items are yet to be displayed in a museum that will be opened in 2025 or 2026 in Pavlos Melas metropolitan park.

Thanks for showing this metro adventure!

Aikamoinen fetan hintaero meidän pienen lähikaupan ja tuon supermarketin välillä😮 Huolimatta siitä, että myyjät usein näppäili sen kanta-asiakaskortti alen vaikkei korttia ollutkaan.

Pitääpi kokeilla🎉

You two are so adorable and polite, I enjoyed watching your video. So cool Definitely new sub 🥰

Kovaa menoa! 😊😊💙

2:40 Melkein yhtä hieno kirkko ku Kouvolan keskuskirkko.
