Salonica - Upper Town

(Local Name: Áno Póli) The upper town (Áno Polí) of Salonica, an area of steep and irregular little streets and lanes which was formerly occupied mainly by Turks and still has something of an Oriental aspect, rises up the hill from Odós Olympíados, the curving street which bounds the lower town on the north, to the old town walls and citadel. In this part of the town there are several fountains of the Turkish period as well as a number of notable churches.
