Athens Cinemas

Athens is one of the few places in the world where outdoor cinema is still popular, and that's due to the dry summers of Greece. Outdoor cinema is one of the most popular forms of entertainment during the hot summer months in Athens. They run from June till September with some of them also operating in the winter, since they have a retractable roof that opens and closes.

There are dozens of outdoor cinemas throughout the Athens area and almost every neighborhood of the capital has at least one outdoor cinema.

Films usually change every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday and the films start at dusk, around 9 p. m. with a later showing at 11 p.m. Plenty of popcorn, candy, refreshments such as beers, coffees, soft drinks, nachos, potato crisps, chocolates and ice creams are available. Films are listed in the daily newspapers.

Here is a list of the most popular Athens cinemas :

Antique vases pulled up from seabed

27/01/2010




DIVERS on marine digs in the Aegean Sea discovered a cargo of antique ceramic vases from a shipwreck, the Greek culture and tourism ministry said today.

The vases from the fourth and fifth century BC were pulled up from depths of between 25 to 49 metres off the coast of the Polyaigos island, southwest of the Cyclades archipelago, located between Greece and Turkey in the Aegean Sea.

The finds by the aquatic archaeologists, including vases used for transportation and two small table vases, all intact, as well as fragments of the vessel's anchor, shed light on commercial routes during the period.

Greek authorities have been mapping its seabeds for a few years, sometimes cooperating with international institutes, and have so far located several dozen old shipwrecks.
