Eynardos Hall| “Views of the City of Athens, 1841–1941” | through October 23, 2026
Athens became the capital of the newly founded Greek state in 1834. Still littered with ruins from the Revolution, with its boundaries limited to the neighborhoods surrounding the Acropolis, it had to be transformed into a modern city, with an urban character, infrastructure, and street layout. The first urban plans by Kleanthis–Saubert (1833) and Kletsche (1834) reveal the aspiration for Athens to become a modern European city, worthy of its glorious ancient past.
However, this process was neither self-evident, nor unimpeded, nor automatic. Athens’ transformation to fulfill its role spanned decades, proceeding at times at a faster pace …More

“The Mayor Is Pulling Up the Hotels…!” | By Michalis Kalogridakis
By Michalis Kalogridakis
Deputy Mayor for Technical Affairs, Municipality of Chania
As I’ve been following the public discourse on issues concerning the Municipality of Chania and beyond, I’ve decided to periodically share information I have so that residents can form a well-rounded view.
Legislative and judicial power belong entirely to the state. Executive power encompasses both the central government and local government, which, however, merely carries out what others legislate, whether it agrees or not…
The definition of “local government” is encapsulated in the word itself. Throughout Europe, local governments have the tools to govern largely on their own. In Greece, …More

In this context, work is underway to restore and highlight the “House of Nero,” which is …More
