The Acropolis’ New Illumination To Be Unveiled Tomorrow
The Acropolis's brand-new lighting design will be revealed on Wednesday, 30 September at 20:00, in the presence of the President of the Greek Republic Katerina Sakellaropoulou, the Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, the Minister of Culture and Sports Lina Mendoni, and the President of the Onassis Foundation, Antonis S. Papadimitriou.
The new illumination of Athens' most prominent landmark highlights the whole Sacred Rock, the Walls, the volume, and each monument's geometry, from every possible point of view. The marbles, whiter than ever, reflect every aspect, every geometric shape, every natural material, emphasizing the relief of each monument's decoration.

How To Overcome Your Fear During The Pandemic
Nothing is permanent other than ourselves and our relationships, so we need to take special care. By allowing situations to influence and direct you, you are not helping yourself or others.
So what can you do? Here are some tips that will help:
1. Use the two outstanding skills you already have: patience and endurance. If you feel that you do not possess them 100%, don't worry; a few exercises will help you develop them.
2. Commit to something that is very important to you and that you will do every single day—for example, not checking your cell phone and social media for half an hour every day.
3. Observe what you allow to get into your internal and external environment. This practice will help you maintain a calm state of self-confidence and achieve something you want.
Opportunities exist in every situation. If someone else can do it, so can you!

When dialing 112, the emergency call taker will ask for the location of the emergency and questions to determine whether you need police, fire, medical, or other assistance. When reaching 112 by text message or email please make sure to include the following information on your message:
- What is your emergency?
- What is the location of the emergency?
- Are there any casualties?
The public authority having jurisdiction for 112 in Greece is the General Secretariat for Civil Protection.
