The 87th International Exhibition of Thessaloniki opened its doors this year in the shadow of national tragedies.
The climate that has been shaped in the country by the devastating fires in Evros, but also by the unprecedented floods from the bad weather Daniel that hit Thessaly, has so far had significant effects in Thessaloniki as well, as cancellations have already been recorded.
