Are map co-ordinates available for CWGC cemeteries in Salonika?  A friend is going over in April, and asked for advise, but as I have not visited yet am unable to help.

They are not sure of the area, will be hiring a car with a sat nav, so any help would be appreciated.

Here are the Google coordinates of the cemeteries themselves - however, the nearest non-4x4 parking may be some distance away! I don't have a road GPS so don't know for sure, but I doubt that the dirt roads are included.

City & environs:
Mikra Cem & Mem 40.578421 22.964582
Lembet Road Cem 40.654015 22.931932 (Parking sparse!)
Monastir Rd Indian Cem & Mem 40.660775 22.897497 (By appointment only! Rough neighbourhood!)
Kirechkoi-Hortakoi Cem 40.625301 23.049734

Struma Front:
Lahana Cem 40.960074 23.190616
Struma Cem 41.018216 23.333681

Doiran/Vardar Front:
Sarigol Cem 40.952280 22.854646
Doiran Cem 41.169536 22.767700
Doiran Mem 41.168371 22.762414
Karasouli Cem 40.994567 22.581461

Further afield but still closely connected with the Salonika Front:
Dedeagatch Cem 40.850967 25.870969 (Locked. Key at Town Hall, tel. +30-25510-26124)
Bralo Cem 38.687394 22.437330

Then Corfu, Skopje, Sofia, Plovdiv, Limnos... How much time does your friend have

Thanks Adrian


That will be a great help.  

They are only going for a week, so the info you have given will be more than enough.

You are a star

To echo Adrian's comments, the local CWGC advise visitors not to venture to Monastir Rd Indian Cem & Memorial because of risk of personal safety. Although it is easy to reach in Thessaloniki it is probably best avoided unless you have made arrangements to be accompanied.
