The lights are on in Syntagma Square, where the Christmas tree is dedicated to the heroes who have been on the frontlines for #Athens this holiday season and every day of the year.
🌟🎄 Merry Christmas! 🌟🎄
We're reminded once again that #Athens stands on the shoulders of giants. Or in this case, a 2400-year-old head of Hermes found this weekend during infrastructure work below Agias Irinis Square. It likely topped a column at a road crossing before becoming part of a drain channel.
There are photographs you remember, and photographs that remember for us. Robert McCabe captured many iconic images of 20th century #Athens. We talked with him for the new episode of our #podcast We’ll Always Have Athens.

The new Omonoia Square - the symbolic heart of Athens - will be a cool resting place this summer. Revealed last night, the large central fountain has an innovative water circulation system that prevents evaporation and will give a refreshed feeling to sunny days. #ThisisAthens
Athens is still putting new roots in the ground, including some colorful surprises that wait for us along those quiet city sidewalks. #ThisisAthens#StayHome
