 Corfu, Greece
Othoni (Οθωνοί) is the westernmost settlement and island in all of Greece.
The splendid commercial position of Corcyra on the highway between Greece and the West favoured its rapid growth and, influenced perhaps by the presence of non-Corinthian settlers, its people, quite contrary to the usual practice of Corinthian colonies, maintained an independent and even hostile attitude towards the mother city.
The British commissioners, who were practically autocrats in spite of the retention of the native senate and assembly, introduced a strict method of government which brought about a decided improvement in the material prosperity of the island, but by its very strictness displeased the natives.

 Salonica, Greece
Salonica (officially Thessaloníki), Greece's second largest city and capital of Greek Macedonia, lies at the head of the Thermaic Gulf (Gulf of Salonica), the most northwesterly gulf in the Aegean, near the mouth of the important river Axiós (Vardar) and on the foothills of the Khortiátis range (1,200m/3,900ft).
In summer the weather is not infrequently oppressively hot, since the area of water in the Gulf of Salonica is too small to exert a moderating influence.
Of the many great fires in Salonica's history (1890, 1894, 1898, 1910, etc.) the most devastating was the one in 1917, which destroyed large areas of the city (including a number of old churches and mosques) and left 80,000 people homeless.
