Thessaloniki becomes the first Greek city 
<http://www.openhouseworldwide.org/news/article.php?item=34> to take 
part in the /Open House Worldwide 
<http://www.openhouseworldwide.org/index.php>/ movement and opens its 
buildings to the public on November 24-25. The event features a total of 
60 public and private buildings, showcasing the city’s great 
architectural diversity and its intriguing relationship with different 
periods, from the ancient world to Byzantium, the Ottoman Empire and the 
early 20th century.

The list includes such diverse buildings as UNESCO heritage 
<http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/456> 5th century Latomou monastery 
<http://odysseus.culture.gr/h/2/eh251.jsp?obj_id=1548> to private 
apartments on the city’s iconic waterfront 
<http://www.greeka.com/macedonia/thessaloniki/thessaloniki-neighbourhoods/thessaloniki-promenade.htm>. 
A special site has been launched 
<http://www.openhousethessaloniki.gr/en/openhouse/buildings_maps/> to 
promote the event, featuring info on the buildings 
<http://www.openhousethessaloniki.gr/en/program/> and maps
