Costas Bakoyannis sworn in as Athens mayor
The new mayor of Athens, Costas Bakoyannis, was sworn in Sunday.
The swearing-in took place in the open, at the Akadimia Platonos park, and not at the city hall, as is the custom.
Bakoyannis, 41, until now regional governor of Central Greece, was elected mayor last June 3, in a runoff, with 65.25 percent of the vote.
