With Christmas drawing closer, Athens changes mood to celebrate despite the difficulties of the ongoing economic crisis.
"Athens
changes mood, Athens celebrates,"is the main slogan of the program of
events organized by the Municipality of Athens this year for residents
and foreign visitors over the next three weeks.
Running on a
dramatically reduced budget compared to previous years, the festive
program does not include impressive Christmas trees and other glitzy
holiday decorations across central squares and avenues.
