“The old time is gone, let’s celebrate children and the separation o let pain sleep in the heart… Happy New Year, happy golden New Year!” Athens sang at the dawn of 2023, in Syntagma Square, where the Municipality of Athens planned a special celebration for the residents and the municipalities of the capital.
Numerous spectacular fireworks lit up the Athenian sky above the Acropolis, the Parliament and the Constitution, creating a truly spectacular sight.
Marios Fragoulis and Giorgos Perris, accompanied by a 10-member orchestra of skilled musicians and soloists, welcomed the new year with songs and melodies loved by everyone.
The hosts of the evening were Fotis Sergoulopoulos and Jeni Melita from ERT, who participated non-profitably in the festive program of the Municipality of Athens.
A few minutes before the change of the new year, the mayor Kostas Bakoyiannis went on stage, where everyone counted down to the first second of 2023.
Kostas Bakoyannis wished a Happy Birthday, said he was impressed by the large attendance and expressed his joy that “we are meeting again”.
He also wished that “we are all well”, and that 2023 will not only heal the wounds he opened in 2022, but, why not, will also have many beautiful surprises in store for us. Concluding his message, he said to “see people with smiles, like the ones we see now” and sang “Happy New Year, Happy New Year, Happy Golden New Year”.
The party, with music and lots of dancing, will continue in the Varvakeio arcade, where the Municipality of Athens with the most important DJs in Athens will create an open party that will last until the early hours of the morning.
