History & Heritage in Thessaloniki
It was a joy to explore the streets of Thessaloniki, Greece, with students and faculty from Ozark Christian College, Johnson University, and an incredible group of assorted friends.
The city is a tapestry of ancient faith and monumental history—perfectly captured here by the massive Statue of Alexander the Great (or as we like to call him, "Alex the Mega-guy") on his legendary horse, Bucephalus. Standing at the waterfront, this landmark serves as a towering reminder of the region’s deep roots and the "mega" impact of the leaders who once walked these Macedonian shores.
From biblical history to sunset strolls along the Aegean waterfront, it was a journey to remember with the best company.
