A new Building, a new era, the new Acropolis museum opens in June.

Athens has improved so much in the last 6 years from the visitor’s viewpoint.
The walk all the way around the Acropolis, pedestrianized, with outdoor-indoor cafes punctuating a stroll beneath that most impressive of monuments has been the foundation of the transformation.

Everything of immediate note and fame to see in the centre of Athens is well, there within walking distance in the centre – all major museums and sites.

Now the new Acropolis Museum Building present a the final treat.

The Grand opening on the 20th June will be followed by 3 days of exclusive admission only to ticket-holders who have purchase tickets online (available from 1 week before the official opening day).
The museum will cost only 1 Euro for admission until the end of 2009.

Next year – 2010 – the admission charge will increase to a still very reasonable 5 Euros.

Apart from the endless delights, contemporary methods of display and plethora of treasures on show, there will also be a gift shop and cafe-restaurant at the museum.

Nearest metro station (entrance right outside the museum) is “Acropolis” .

There are two entrances – from the Metro station (on Makrygianni Street) it’s just 40 metres to the Acropolis pedestrianized walkway and then another entrance is round the corner on a side street (Mitseon Street).

Olympic Airlines will be bought by Marfin Investment Group (MIG)

After years of nearly, almost, maybe, maybe not, attempts to sell ailing Olympic Airlines the winning buyer is Marfin Investment Group (MIG) – a financial powerhouse.

Marfin will be the new owner of the legendary airline once owned by Aristotle Onassis and later left to wither in the hands of the Greek state and its sour, dowdy employees.

Marfin will turn this into a dynamic entity – an airline fit to fly again.

Everyone can now look forward to boarding an Olympic flight with smiles – both on the faces of passengers, and hard though it is to imagine, the fine faces of future (or re-programmed ? ) Olympic employees.

Bravo Mr Vgenopoulos and good luck. Make this bird fly high.

Don’t be late for brunch (oh woe is me, whatever happened to Beachbum Burt’s – the best bunchin’ in the South Bay ?) !

Daylight Saving starts Sunday March 8 for the US and Canada.

If you wake up on Sunday and didn’t adjust your clocks the night before – move them forward 1 hour (make 9 look like 10 ) – don’t want to be late for brunch now, do you?
