I visited this historic city in the summer of 2015. As you may know, it is the origin place of Alexander the Great, and the locals here make no attempt to hide that fact (the airport, main square, stadium and other things are all named after him)! I heard that the central area by the river went through lots of renovation lately with the addition of statues, theaters, museums and the like, and some of it was still under construction during my visit. The food here was also excellent, being a tasty combination of Turkish, Adriatic and Balkan flavors.
