The 35th Book Fair in Pasalimani will continue until Sunday, July 2nd, which includes dozens of stands with thousands of books for all ages, with old and unpublished titles and publishers from all over Greece.

The event, which is an institution for the city of Piraeus, is also accompanied by a multitude of cultural events, such as book presentations, meetings with authors, art activities for children and many surprises.

The 35th Book Fair, which operates daily and on weekends from 19:00 to 23:00, is one of the three largest fairs, with 70,000 book titles and the participation of 90 publishing houses.

The Municipality of Piraeus participates in the exhibition with a stand, where visitors can obtain the tourist guide of the city Destination Piraeus, in order to be informed about the sights and beauties of Piraeus, as well as to be informed about the programs of the Public Benefit Municipal Enterprise of Piraeus (KODEP ).

The mayor of Piraeus, Yiannis Moralis, in his greeting at the opening held on Monday, June 19, at the building of the Aikaterini Laskaridis Foundation, in Pasalimani, said among other things: “The Book Fair, held every year in Pasalimani, is one of the largest and from the most important exhibitions in Greece. The cooperation of the municipal authority with the Association of Booksellers and Publishers of Piraeus has always been exemplary, continuous and lasting”.

Mr. Moralis did not fail to mention the special point where the exhibition is organized, as he pointed out: “The choice between the stands with the thousands of titles of various books is also combined with a beautiful walk in Pasalimani, not only for the people of Piraeus but also for the visitors to the city. It is the first exhibition that takes place after the operation of the metro, and I believe that it will contribute to the increase of visitors”.

Speaking about the value of the book, especially for the new generation, the mayor of Piraeus noted that “as a municipal authority and each one individually we must promote the book to the new generation, support it and convince the new generation to read printed books as well on paper” and invited Piraeus and non-citizens to visit the exhibition.
