About this audio guide
This guide to the Museum of the Macedonian Struggle in Thessaloniki is set in the former Greek consulate general, in the years after May nineteen oh four when Lambros Koromilas took up his post in Ottoman Salonica. It follows the undeclared contest between Greek and pro-Bulgarian armed bands for Macedonia's villages, and the officers and chieftains who came to this house for orders. Best heard on the pavement out front, with the neighbouring cathedral in view.
