New Athens Mayor Haris Doukas called on Athenians to remember the value of community and solidarity, in his message shortly before the New Year was ushered in on Monday. "I invite you to believe in small and large miracles alike that could happen if we all join forces, for an Athens that is greener, more creative, and to reduce inequalities that plague our society," Doukas said.

President of the Hellenic Republic Katerina Sakellaropoulou attended the annual celebratory liturgy for the new year at the Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens led by Archbishop Hieronymos of Athens and All Greece on Monday, New Year's Day.

With a glamorous celebration, a rain of colorful fireworks, and the wishes of Mayor Costas Bakoyannis, Athens welcomed the new year.
