Salonika as a logistical hub

Salonika, modern Thessaloniki in Greece, served as an important logistical hub due to its strategic location on the Aegean Sea. Its extensive port facilities allowed for the efficient movement of troops, supplies, and equipment between Europe and the Balkan region. The city’s railway network interconnected it with inland territory, facilitating land transportation. During conflicts like World War I and II, Salonika's infrastructure enabled rapid deployment and supply logistics, making it a vital point for coordinating military operations and commerce. Its combination of port access and railway connections made it a key logistical center in Southeastern Europe.
