The Winding Streets Of Kolonaki - Steve Kerr - Bog

It is Athens in the late autumn of 1973 and the sweltering heat of the inner city is replaced by cool, overcast days.The Greek dictatorship are slowly starting to crumble.In working class Omonia The Papadopoulos family focus on the protest at the Athens Ploytechnic while the daily buzz of city life continues around them.Uptown under the watchful eye of the godess Athena, and a world away the residents of the affluent district of Kolonaki, as well as those who aspire to live there, go about their lives as they walk amid its steep, winding streets at the foot of the imposing, Lycabettus Hill.We encounter among them: Effie the cleaner, Yannis the Export Clerk, Athanasia; the aristocrat Elethferia, the millionaire, Cathy the teacher, Takis the cafe ownerAs the years pass, oblivious to its children, the ancient city moves in an altogether different direction: a wandering tale of latter day Athens and its peoples.
