Day 23 - Sunday 26 May - Thessaloniki museums

Sunday 26 May, Day 23

I had scheduled some rest days, and today was one.  So we stayed home, did the washing and lots of updating here.  We headed off at about 11:30, to use up some museum vouchers we'd bought, at inflated prices, at the White Tower.

We  caught a bus and got off near the Exhibition Centre, and walked to the Archaeological Museum.  This had lots of pots and jars, goods from tombs and burial sites, some mosaics etc.  We stayed for about 1 1/2 hours.

We walked to the nearby Museum of Byzantine Culture, where there was a cafe for lunch.  Their exhibition had similar objects, but then featured lots of icons.

 We'd had enough by 16:15, and walked back to town, to Hagia Sophia church that we'd missed the other day, but it was all locked up. 

We'd also thought we'd visit the sister church of Sofia, but when we got there, the service was at 19:00, not 17:00, so we caught the bus home again.
