The map
About this Sykiés map poster
Sykiés lies on the slopes directly above central Thessaloniki, northwest of the Ano Poli upper town and its Byzantine walls. On a map it reads as a very compact, steep neighbourhood. Narrow streets run tightly across the hillside, and building blocks fill nearly every space up to the edge of the Seich Sou forest on the ridge above.
Much of the town grew in the twentieth century, when refugees from Asia Minor settled on these hillsides after 1922. The later development is still dense but kept close to the original lots. The Heptapyrgion fortress, part of Thessaloniki's old defences, lies nearby, and the views from the upper streets look down over the city to the Thermaic Gulf.
A Sykiés map poster shows how a steep suburb can be almost entirely filled with streets. Where the built-up area ends at the forest, the lines stop suddenly, which gives the map a sharp, clear top edge.

Seich Sou forest edge
Above the town the streets stop at the pine forest on the ridge, and the map changes abruptly from crowded blocks to open space.
Near the old walls
On the southeastern side, Sykiés meets the upper town and the line of the Byzantine walls, which ties it into Thessaloniki's historic layout.

Why Sykiés
A map that means something
Sykiés is a neighbourhood people identify with closely, often through family stories from the refugee years. A map of its streets makes a meaningful gift for relatives who grew up there or for anyone who loves the climb up to the forest.
Add a Greek title, a subtitle or a family date, and adjust the coordinates line. Then choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Print partners in more than 30 countries can deliver it framed or unframed.
