Strolling in the historical centre of Athens
On Sunday the 3rd of March at 11:00΄ SAS organize an interesting walk at the heart of Athens. The stroll will begin from ‘‘ Kolonaki ’’ district, where some important Neoclassic buildings exist, then will pass along ‘‘ Panepistimiou ’’ str. and the nearby roads to notice and even visit for free important buildings of the Newer History of Greece, such as the ‘‘ Nomismatic Museum ’’ and will end at the ‘‘ Museum of the National History ’’ where will have the opportunity to visit it also for … free !
As a total, we hope to have the time to admire at least 30 impressive buildings, we guess most of us, never have noticed in the past, even we are living in Athens for … half a century !!
Duration of the whole walk will be not more than 3 hours including sufficient breaks for relaxation on public benches. It is obvious that anyone who likes to shorten his walk can … escape at any point of the route !
We are also glad to announce that, a happening will take place as a surprise somewhere in the middle of the walk, introduced by a friend of us, Andreas, who is going to inform us about some products related to our health, healthiness and detoxification ! Actually is a lottery with presents without having obligation to pay for the lottery tickets !!
Meeting point is in Kolonaki, at 6 Kanari str. outside ‘‘ Carpo ’’ café. Finish point is in Syntagma at ‘‘ The Neoclassico ’’ which is also important, because it is a traditional .. souvlaki-tavern !
For those who are interested in participating, please declare up to 1st of March 22:00 p.m.
Leaders will be Anna and Georgos Foteinos, e-mail geoplanf@otenet.gr Emergency phone 6945 386255.
