Athens Mayor Yiorgos Kaminis invites all the city’s citizens,residents and visitors to celebrate Christmas and New Year in a english language brochure that includes the full list of 243 events that the Greek capital has prepared for this year’s holiday season.
As Mr Kaminis points out,”the entire city of Athens claims a place in the future. A breath of light mood, uplifting, music and play. This year, through all the difficult and unexpected events, Athens was lit with its Christmas decorations earlier, as most European and international capitals, sending a message of solidarity and peaceful coexistence among peoples. Athens is celebrating and celebration is a uniting force.“
Athens is a hospitable, lively and safe European capital
He also notes that “all 243 events that the City of Athens has prepared this year, music, dance,theater, activities for the young and the not so young, spread from the city center, to the city’s neighborhoods and edges. Because it is in difficult times that we seek the company of others. The closeness to our community. To what was called “demos”in ancient times, in this very city, and still remains the soul of Athens.
And concludes his invitation like this: “Athens is a hospitable, lively and safe European capital. Democracy and freedom will not please those few who invest in fear. We invest in peaceful coexistence,respect for human rights. In the joy of celebrating. In the right to hope.”
