House of celebrated poet to be restored
After years of abandonment, the house in the Plaka district of Athens once belonging to the celebrated Greek poet Kostis Palamas, will be restored and given a new lease on life as a landmark and as a place to exhibit his work and to study modern Greek literature. His funeral procession in 1943 started from this house at 5 Periandros Street and developed into a demonstration against the German occupation.
