Osmanlı Selanik 🇹🇷 Οι Οθωμανικοι μαχαλάδες της Θεσσαλονίκης

There, life flowed smoothly. Narrow cobbled streets, small wooden houses with huge barked doors that look like prison doors. Barred windows, wilderness. Markets with rumpled oriental merchants sitting cross-legged in front of their wares: mother-of-pearl, amber and silver. Silk fabrics and lacy shawls from the Indies, precious perfumes and the air smells of patchouli.
In the precincts of the mosques, Turks are sunning themselves sitting cross-legged. Large taps with running water and a round of pigeons.

Orada hayat sorunsuz akıyordu. Dar Arnavut kaldırımlı sokaklar, hapishane kapısı gibi görünen kocaman havlamalı kapıları olan küçük ahşap evler. Parmaklıklı pencereler, vahşi doğa. Pazarlar, buruşuk oryantal tüccarlar mallarının önünde bağdaş kurmuş oturuyorlardı: sedef, kehribar ve gümüş. Hint Adaları'ndan ipek kumaşlar ve dantel şallar, değerli parfümler ve havada paçuli kokusu.
Camilerin çevresinde Türkler bağdaş kurmuş güneşleniyorlardı. Akan suyla dolu büyük musluklar ve bir sürü güvercin.

Αλάνι πολύ ωραίο αλλά για μουσική βάλε κάνα ρεμπέτικο

Τη μάνα σου τη μάγισσα
ρακί θα την ποτίσω
να πέσει ν’ αποκοιμηθεί
να ’ρθώ να σε φιλήσω.
