VALENTINE’S DAY
Feb 14th, 2008 by admin
Its Valentine’s day and here in Athens, Greece there are many night and day-life options for having fun and meeting people. It is a place of the “parea”- where people circulate mainly in groups or pairs and the feeling of a person sipping a cocktail alone in a bar or watching a film alone at the cinema is usaully one of the distint discomfort of being glanced at with some element of pity or curiosity.
Anyway, for many foreigners its an opportunity to celebrate with family and amazing friends. EXHIBITIONS OPEN THIS WEEK INCLUDE: The tribute to Stephen Andonakos at the Pireos St. of the Benaki Museum, The National Archaelogical Museum, The Benaki’s Islamic Art Museum, The Frisseras Museum of Contemporary Greek and European Painting, and The Atelier Spyros Vassiliou. Out in the cinemas right now are the Bob Dylan tribute film I’m not there, Sweeney Todd the Demon Barber, Cloverfiled, The Darjeeling Limited, Emmas Gluck and Feast of Love. And if you hosting your own Valentine’s party, you can rent out a karaoke service with 19.000 songs by checking out the site www.madkaraoke.gr
