Stadiou Street

I have observed the following: After the fiasco of the redevelopment of Panepistimiou Street in central Athens - the so-called Grand Walk - any project announced by the Municipality of Athens stumbles upon the suspicion of a portion of citizens regardless of their political leanings.

Times are changing, increasingly fewer people are going to the cinemas, as all of us who still go have discovered. What can one do? It's a part of life.

Work focused on removing slogans, tags and smudges that covered an area of about 3,300 square meters along the popular shopping street that branches out of Syntagma Square.

Cars will be banned from the historical center of Athens for three months from mid-June in order to provide more space to pedestrians in view of the need for physical distancing, according to a joint ministerial decision Friday.
