As you might remember I ran into my long time highschool friend, Mariana at the JFK airport 11 September. Now here I am visiting with her in Thessaloniki. I also know Litza, who owns a wonderful coffee shop, called Arte, and Fenya( Mariana's daughter) and Chris Boyanides

Thessaloniki, which is named after Alexander the Great's sister and means mermaid is a wonderful community. You will see people walking around, sitting out in one of the many cafes or just stopping to chat with each other. The city is clean, safe and friendly.

Last night I saw Litza for the first time in 7 or 8 years and went to her coffee shop for the first time. Litza is an artist and a very loving person. She certainly enjoys all of her customers and considers them her friends. Her place, called Arte, has a very warm and inviting atmosphere. She serves coffees and alcoholic drinks and provids free snacks which are healthy and delicious.
