Description
Footage from the natural landscape alongside the Old National Road Thessaloniki-Serres, as REO army vehicles pass us by on the opposite side of the road. A sign tells us about the distance in kilometres. We are only 40 km away from the Bulgarian borders.

The film continues with views on Venizelou Street, where at the junction of Venizelou, Ermou and V. Vassiliou streets we see a neoclassical building that has survived to this day and was recently renovated. Continuing on Venizelou, we see a decorated Christmas tree in Eleftherias Square and alongside the fountain with the different levels.

The film closes with views of the city from above.

In Eleftherias Square is the Archaeological Museum which is housed in an old bedestan (or bezisten=a covered market usually for haberdashery and craftsmanship) that dates back to the late 15th century and are, also, a lot of neoclassical houses.
