The Goulandris Museum of Modern Art will be holding a silent auction on Tuesday of work by acclaimed Greek artists who were inspired by Kathimerini.

The auction will take place from 5-8 p.m. at the new museum's Pangrati premises, with proceeds from the sale going in aid of the Food Bank, an initiative of the Foundation for the Eradication of Hunger and Waste.

The rare appearance of snow in the city center came amid heavy snowfall in the northern suburbs and other parts of the country. Scores of schools are to remain closed for a second day today as the bad weather is forecast to continue.

Urban art reveals more about a city than traditional travel guides, as it directly reflects and soul and the creative spirit of its residents.

Athens, the fascinating capital of Greece, boasts of amazing archaeological sites and art museums that attract thousands of tourists each year.
