Internationally acclaimed Greek singer Alkistis Protopsalti on Saturday morning hit the streets of Athens and gave a mobile concert to spread optimism and joy through song.

In a move seeking to provide decent living conditions for hundreds of homeless people in the Greek capital, the Athens municipality on Wednesday opened the doors of a new shelter, the Homeless Centre, which can host up to 400 people.

Greeks are overwhwlmingly commited to the government's regulations for a lockdown, despite a few who continue to evade the ban on outdoor activities.

This has led to all major urban centers becoming abandoned spaces, especially Athens home to more than 4 million people has turned into a deserted city reminiscent of some p-ost-apocalyptic movie.

Yet, empty athens reveals itself in all its splendor devoid of the frienzied crowds going about their daily chores.

A video posted on the internet courtesy of Associated Press has been going viral among Hellenes in Greece and abroad, and is carried by the euronews, youtube channel.

Enjoy a view of Athens as you've never seen it before.
