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.

While the issue of the Christmas decoration of Vasilissis Sophia Avenue, which was undertaken by the Onassis Foundation and has provoked major reactions on social media, with its controversial aesthetics, The issue is now raised conderning the decoration of Panepistimiou Street in Athens. .

Many Athenians believed that this year - a year after the end of the memorandum and the crisis - the capital would be resplended for the Christmas holidays of 2019 and the streets would be filled with cheerful ornaments and lights, but alas it doesn't seem to be the case.
