ANT 2025 will be held in Thessaloniki, Greece. Thessaloniki is the second-largest city in Greece, with slightly over one million inhabitants in its metropolitan area. Thessaloniki is located on the Thermaic golf, at the northwest corner of the Aegean sea. The municipality of Thessaloniki is the second most populous in Greece, after Athens, with a resident population of 317,778 and an area of 19.307 square kilometers. Because of the city’s reach and diverse history, Thessaloniki houses many museums dealing with many different eras in history. Two of the most famous museums include the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki and the Museum of Byzantine Culture.
