The cultural association “Meteora” in Athens
The cultural association “Meteora” made a trip to Athens on November 26 and 27. Members and friends of the club were lucky enough to make our capital. Together with a crowd of people from all over the world he visited us museum and the archaeological site of the Acropolis, an eternal symbol of civilization. Art, Democracy, Philosophy, Education, Ancient Theater the immense legacy of this place to all mankind.
Next stop the theater! It’s nice to see that in Athens there aren’t that many options for watching a theater performance. the play “Yes“, starring Grigoris Valtinos, based on the award-winning Irish author Hugh Leonard’s work of the same name, was the club’s choice and it really was great. Full of meaning and values, the performers achieved their goal and moved the audience, who rewarded them with a warm applause and did not let them leave the stage.
Next stop the National Gallery. It is housed in a modern, beautiful building, which was inaugurated in 2021 and houses the history of painting in our country. An endless multi-thematic journey through the wonderful paintings of many well-known artists.
Last stop was the S. Niarchos foundation, which has contributed significantly to improving the image of modern Athens, putting in its turn an important stone in the entertainment and rest of the citizens. Its ornate building hosts, among others, the National Library and the National Opera. Around the building stretches a large area of green where young and old can be entertained. For children there are original playgrounds and the possibility to participate in different educational events.
