Zejtinlik Thessaloniki
Thessalonika, GreeceAbout
A few kilometres from the city centre, in the quarter called Zejtinlik (the Oil Market in Turkish), you'll find the Serbian cemetery from the WWI. 21,000 allies (the French, Italian and English), including 8,000 Serbs, were buried here. The cemetery was built between 1933 and 1936, according to the plans of Aleksandar Vasic and Nikolai Krasnov. You'll be greeted by old Djordje Mihajlovic, the keeper, who will take you on a short journey into the past and show you the nearby mausoleum with a chapel.
