Kotzia square celebrations in Athens
Happy new Year!
A few more days to enjoy
In Athens these days, there are many ways to enjoy the New Year celebrations. One of the best is the one in the center of Athens, in Kotzia Square, right in front of the city hall. You have until Tuesday to visit them and I would suggest you do so.
Gift ideas
You will find many small kiosks with tsouros, hamburgers, jewelry, candles, decorations and various other souvenirs, so it is also a great opportunity to find original gifts from your trip to Athens.
“Accept what people offer. Drink their milkshakes. Take their love.”
Lanterns in the sky
For a few years now, the main event has been held here in the days around Christmas, when lanterns are distributed to the crowd and at some point everyone releases them into the sky. The spectacle is impressive. The next time you are in Athens around Christmas, it would be a good opportunity to see it.
This year, the organizers didn't do it as well as they should have because they were a little behind schedule, so many people put their lanterns out much earlier and the spectacle wasn't as magical as it could have been. Nevertheless, it was a beautiful evening.
Wish you a very happy new year!
