“We take advantage of the vast experience of our agencies to unify and highlight the cultural fabric of the city. Under the “umbrella” of Culture is Athens, we are creating for the first time an integrated application and a portal, which brings Athenians and visitors closer to the rich and high-quality cultural activities of the municipality. Recognizing the impact of culture on our everyday life and the quality of our lives, we are making a dynamic restart, having at the center of every initiative the support of the people who work in its field”, says the Mayor of Athens in his statement, Kostas Bakoyannis.
