Apollon

A new door of a nightclub directly opening to an ancient temple in the Mediterranean resort town of Side has raised eyebrows.

A restaurant adjacent to the ruins of the ancient city of Side was recently turned into a nightclub named Apollon.

It takes quite an effort to remember what the building housing the Attikon and Apollon cinemas in downtown Athens looked like before it was torched during anti-austerity riots in 2012. Seven years have passed since then and it remains a scorched edifice, a witness of failed efforts to bring the cinemas back to life, becoming increasingly invisible in the city center.

Cypriot football club Apollon Limassol pulled off a stunning result after drawing 2-2 in England against heavily fancied opponents Everton for the Europa League Group E match Thursday night. The game’s opening goals came in the first half courtesy of shocking defensive play from both sides.
