Jewish Mansions

TIME : 2016/2/18 18:58:06

Two east-side 19th-century mansions attest to the bygone wealth and prominence of Thessaloniki’s Jews: the Villa Allatini and Villa Mordoch . It's a fifteen-minute trip by bus along Leoforos Vasillissis Olgas. Incidentally, Olgas (the street on which both mansions are located) crosses Saadi Levi, named for the publisher of one of Thessaloniki’s 35 erstwhile Jewish newspapers.
