Thessaloniki promotes cultural and religious tourism in Bucharest
The Municipality of Thessaloniki in Greece is strengthening its ties with Romania through a cultural and religious promotion programme in Bucharest, according to a social media post by the Aghioritiki Estia.
The initiative, entitled “Destination Thessaloniki”, took place on 24–25 September and involved a delegation from the Greek city led by Mayor Stelios Angeloudis.
The programme aimed to attract more Romanian visitors throughout the year by promoting Thessaloniki as a modern tourist destination and showcasing its heritage, culture and local gastronomy, as well as opportunities in entrepreneurship, innovation and investment.
During the programme in Bucharest, the Greek delegation visited the exhibition Mount Athos and Meteora 1929 – The Hidden Princeton Treasure, which presents a collection of photographs and video material created almost a century ago and rediscovered in Princeton University archives in the United States.
The project is being presented in Romania in cooperation with Princeton University’s Department of Art and Archaeology and the Byzantina Cultural Foundation.
During his visit to Romania, Thessaloniki Mayor Stelios Angeloudis also met His Beatitude Patriarch Daniel of the Romanian Orthodox Church.
