Books, Books, Books...
Books promote discussion and interaction between generations. Remember storytime where the old would read to the young ? Until May 14, 2007 you can visit the Athens Book Festival celebrating its 30th anniversary. At the foot of the Acropolis along Dionysiou Areopagitou Street, 300 Spartans, sorry I mean publishers, are exhibiting at 254 outdoor stands. It's an evening stroll where you can leaf through and buy books, go people watching, all under the shadow of the Parthenon, a symbol of world civilization.
If the Athens Book Festival doesn't satify your bibliophile appetite then you can travel north to the 4th annual Thessaloniki International Book Fair http://www.thessalonikibookfair.com held in Greece's second largest city and featuring 400 exhibitors and 100 events.
Happy reading!
