Celebrating the 31st anniversary of Sister Cities of Melbourne & Thessaloniki. Plenty of sunshine, Greek traditional folk dances and Greek yogurt !
Melbourne is said to have the largest Greek-speaking population outside of Europe, after Athens and Thessaloniki, Melbourne’s Greek sister city. Greek migration to Australia dates back to 1827 but the vast majority of Greeks arrived between 1945 and 1982.
The city’s Greek Precinct (in and around Lonsdale Street between Swanston and Russell streets) had its beginnings in the 1930s and today is home to Greek restaurants, cafes and cake shops.
