Founded in 1925, the Hellenic Philatelic Society is one of the oldest associations in Greece and its members come together at well-attended meetings twice a week at its headquarters on Academias Street in downtown Athens, ekathimerini.com reports.
The society is particularly busy right now as Athens is set to host the NOTOS 2021 – European Philatelic Exhibition. Foreign collectors already covet the marvelous Hermes head stamps, the first in Greece, and today worth as much as 150,000 euros apiece, but the exhibition will give locals a chance to show off the range of themes of Greek stamps as well as their wonderful personal collections, most of which are dedicated to specific themes.
