city in Macedonia, in northern Greece, now Thessaloniki

Fishburn and Hughes: "A Greek port north west of Athens, once Macedonia's natural outlet to the sea. The Spanish spoken in Salonika was probably Ladino (a mixture of old Spanish and some Hebrew). Salonika's Jewish colony was greatly augmented in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries by an influx of Sephardic Jews from Spain." (172-73)
