Renew Acropolis Symbolism
Acropolis Athens at night

Acropolis, Athens, Greece

• October 23, 2019
MORE LIGHT | ENHANCED ACCESSIBILITY

The Onassis Foundation improves the Acropolis infrastructures!
Antonis Papadimitriou - the president of the Onassis Foundation in Athens Greece - after his meeting with the Greek prime minister offered him the Foundation’s contribution on upgrading the infrastructure on the Hill of the Acropolis. More detailed they have decided to fund the installation of a modern platform lift (in place of the current lift and hoist), as well as the renovation and upgrading of the night illumination of the archaeological site.
Everything is an issue of education. The Acropolis, as a monument that expresses Athenian Democracy, cannot help but comprise a priority. The monument continues to stand there, with or without us. But we have an obligation to renew its symbolism, according to the needs of the age...

Day one for the Authentic Big Blue 2019

Hold your breath, dive into the big blue!

✍️ In autumn of 2017 we “revived” the legendary film “LE GRAND BLEU” (“THE BIG BLUE”) by organizing, in Amorgos, a unique event; an international free-diving tournament, the Authentic Big Blue; at the location where the most memorable scenes of the film were shot, scenes that created unique feelings.
The second ABB tournament was organized in September 2018 and it was an anniversary event since it was 30 years after the release of “Le Grand Bleu“ film.
The 3rd event will be held from today; 22 – 28 of September 2019 and will be focused on the divers who honor us with their presence every year. Inspired by the magical blue, with the aura of the island and the unique awe-inspiring landscape on our side; this year we create a special, sporting and tourist experience.

Spring wear • Ootd

“I don't wear it either I can't without you.”

The light blue shirt

“The light blue shirt, sometimes I wore it and sometimes you wore it.”
(from the song of G. Dalaras)
— in lyrics | music by Stavros Kougioumtzis.
“The light blue shirt, you never wore it again.”
And if so, why?
Today's photography may not represent your favorite style, but because the blue or the light blue color this year is in fashion (and every year it's style is in fashion to such an era that aries Spring), I have a simple, everyday suggestion for your to wear on your morning walks in the city's center.

Ciccus Athens

• March 19, 2019
Do you enjoy life?

“Ανοήμονες βιούσι ού τερπόμενοι βιούν.”
(Meaning: Fools live without enjoying life)
— Democritus, 470-370 BC, Ancient Greek philosopher.
My review on the Ciccus bar where earlier today I've enjoyed my first coffee of the day. Located to the Monastiraki area in the center of Athens, this cafe bar is quite close to the archaeological sites of Stoa of Attalos and Temple of Hephaestus so Ciccus is a really nice place to stop by while you are in the neighborhood.

Plato's Other Half

“According to Greek mythology, humans were originally created with four arms, four legs and a head with two faces. Fearing their power, Zeus split them into two separate parts, condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other halves ... and when one of them meets the other half, the pair are lost in an amazement of love and friendship and intimacy and one will not be out of the other's sight...”

New economical foundation to buy or to die but never buying?

Today is a sunny day and I have tried one more affordable foundation - the Delia's Luxury Look Lift And Smooth foundation in the tanned shade and I uploaded my review to let you know whether you should buy it or if it is to be avoided. Spring is on its way - I thought - and what's better than a product that shows your skin slightly tanned? Is this foundation the one I was looking for?

Are you a snow or winter hater?

Today in Athens, we got up in the morning and (in the center of the city) there was some snow on cars and trees. To the north of the prefecture and the country, everything had been covered with snow. If you hate the snow and the winter, if the snowman looks a sad to slightly frightening figure, if you don't love snowball and you can't understand all the crazyness going on our country's social media - on the first snow, then I am your friend and below I have prepared your article.
