Arthur J Posted 26 February , 2010 Share Posted 26 February , 2010 Are map co-ordinates available for CWGC cemeteries in Salonika? A friend is going over in April, and asked for advise, but as I have not visited yet am unable to help. They are not sure of the area, will be hiring a car with a sat nav, so any help would be appreciated.

apwright Posted 5 March , 2010 Share Posted 5 March , 2010 Here are the Google coordinates of the cemeteries themselves - however, the nearest non-4x4 parking may be some distance away! I don't have a road GPS so don't know for sure, but I doubt that the dirt roads are included. City & environs: Mikra Cem & Mem 40.578421 22.964582 Lembet Road Cem 40.654015 22.931932 (Parking sparse!) Monastir Rd Indian Cem & Mem 40.660775 22.897497 (By appointment only! Rough neighbourhood!) Kirechkoi-Hortakoi Cem 40.625301 23.049734 Struma Front: Lahana Cem 40.960074 23.190616 Struma Cem 41.018216 23.333681 Doiran/Vardar Front: Sarigol Cem 40.952280 22.854646 Doiran Cem 41.169536 22.767700 Doiran Mem 41.168371 22.762414 Karasouli Cem 40.994567 22.581461 Further afield but still closely connected with the Salonika Front: Dedeagatch Cem 40.850967 25.870969 (Locked. Key at Town Hall, tel. +30-25510-26124) Bralo Cem 38.687394 22.437330 Then Corfu, Skopje, Sofia, Plovdiv, Limnos...

Arthur J Posted 5 March , 2010 Author Share Posted 5 March , 2010 Thanks Adrian That will be a great help. They are only going for a week, so the info you have given will be more than enough. You are a star Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinWills Posted 5 March , 2010 Share Posted 5 March , 2010 To echo Adrian's comments, the local CWGC advise visitors not to venture to Monastir Rd Indian Cem & Memorial because of risk of personal safety. Although it is easy to reach in Thessaloniki it is probably best avoided unless you have made arrangements to be accompanied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
