The northern regions of Greece were once part of the Ottoman Empire and the domain of Suleiman the Magnificent. Apparently this Suleiman was very benevolent and smart. His legacy lives on in the port city of Kavala. It is overlooked by an ancient fortress and an aqua duct six and a half kilometres long.
The Greeks have seen fit to leave a huge statue to honour Suleiman in place along with a mosque albeit inactive.
