Athenians have been complaining about the Christmas decorations this year after odd looking lighting appeared in iwo of Athens' most emblematic avenues. However all that changed with the decorations of Syntagma Square, where Mayor Kostas Bakoyannis dazzled everyone with what is arguably the best Christmas decor in years.

Lampsa SA will open its new hotel in central Athens "Athens Capital Hotel - MGallery" by April 2020. The hotel, located in Syntagma square, is the former Kings' Palace hotel. Lampsa SA will invest 22 million euros in the new hotel which will have 158 rooms and 19 suites.

Syntagma Square and the surrounding streets in Athens turned into a movie set for several hours.
