GREEK ART IN EVERYWHERE AND EVERYTHINGS
by Orkaena
In 2001 the phone call cards were like the picture beside (price in drachmes and euros currencies) but the most remarkable detail is the reproduction of any object of greek ancient art on both sides of the card (a good printing job, believe me) and with a lot of differents sculptures, pottery, etc. on each one, then it is possible you don't get two cards with the same printings.
So, after used the card as a phone call device you can get it as a beautiful object to collect. Of course I get my own collection of "thlekartes", and I hope the greek telephone state company OTE keep going on with this healthy way to do somethings.

I love clubbing, so an absolute must when visiting Athens is to party at Paradiso. Unfortunately it is only open in summer, but it is the perfect place for hot summer nights. The one thing that i will always remember about Athens is meeting my best bud, Margianna, at a computer class i was taking. If she ever reads this...i thank you from the bottom of my heart for making me feel less homesick and welcoming me into your family.

Pireus
by OrlandoBR
Do take the subway until the last stop (well, the one before, actually, called P. Faliro) and wander around this beautiful area close to the port of Pireus. You will come out accross the street from a stadium (lots of work being done there, the dust again!). Look for someone who you think speaks English and ask for the Yacht Club, Microlimano or Passalimano, for the places with the nice cafeterias... (?)
The Town Hall
by AndyRG
It was built in 1872-1874. The Town Hall of Athens is located at Athinas street, between Omonia and Monastiraki, near the central market of the city. Next to it, you can walk at Kotzia square, which is surrounded by some nice buildings.
The three-floor neo-classical building doesn't house only services, but also hosts wonderful frescos (mainly made by Fotis Kondoglou).
A large restoration had been taken place in 1995, when Dimitris Avramopoulos was the mayor of Athens.
