‘This is Athens’ campaign brightly lights up Greek capital for Christmas, New Year’s season

Stepped up holiday decorations and lighting in central Athens this Covid-19-plagued season was accompanied by a video produced by the municipality, called “This is Athens”.

The center-piece of the video is central Syntagma square, across from Parliament, where the main Christmas tree and accompanying attraction are brightly illuminated, along with Omonia square and its recently reconstructed fountain.

Athens is reportedly among the top city-tour destinations for 2021, based on users’ Internet searches, according to the municipality.
