We're cheering for our Olympians from Greece🇬🇷 and all athletes competing at #Tokyo2020. Plus we're honored that the champions get to take home a bit of Athens. Did you know the medals feature Nike, Goddess of Victory, and the Panathenaic Stadium?

Athens hometown hero and NBA MVP Giannis #Antetokounmpo learned to play basketball on these courts in Sepolia. Thanks to support from Disney - in town to film a biopic on the #GreekFreak - the upgraded park and playground will give neighborhood children more safe space to play.

A great day is dawning. Happy Independence, Greece! #Greece2021 #Greece200years

You know what’s even rarer than a quiet #Athens? A snowy Athens! Sending warm thoughts (and a couple of #snowballs) your way❄️❄️ Photos by Thomas Gravanis | #ThisisAthens

From small neighborhood bubblers to the jets of Omonia Square, water #fountains are part of our daily life. This year, 34 historic fountains will return to service after many years of neglect. They'll be revived and restored to help give #Athens a breath of fresh air.

Travel Trade Athens returns in 2021 to connect international buyers with leading suppliers in the Greek #tourism and #MICE industry. It's the signature #traveltrade event of the City of Athens and the Athens Development and Destination Management Agency.👉

Athens lights the way to its historic heart, to wish you bright new beginnings. Merry Christmas! #ThisisAthens

The lights are on in Syntagma Square, where the Christmas tree is dedicated to the heroes who have been on the frontlines for #Athens this holiday season and every day of the year. 🌟🎄 Merry Christmas! 🌟🎄

This year for #IDPWD2020, Athens commits to restore its sidewalks and build pedestrian ramps, to remove obstacles, and prevent illegal parking. These small but significant projects will help ensure that people with disabilities have full access to city life. #ThisisAthens

We're reminded once again that #Athens stands on the shoulders of giants. Or in this case, a 2400-year-old head of Hermes found this weekend during infrastructure work below Agias Irinis Square. It likely topped a column at a road crossing before becoming part of a drain channel.

Athens is once again in lockdown to stop the spread of COVID-19. Gathering places are closed until the end of November, masks are required at all times, and travel is limited to essential needs. #ThisisAthens will keep you updated on the latest measures➡️
