TIME MACHINE - Greek Life At The Turn Of The Last Century

How did Athens look like at the turn of the 20th century? What about Thessaloniki and Piraeus? How did Greek citizens in the cities and in the countryside spend Easter? What type of transportation was used? What were the leading career choices at the time? How did the homes, the shops and the cinemas look like? What types of games did children play and how did their schools look like? Find out today as TIME MACHINE takes a step back in time to a Greece at the turn of the century. A compilation of videos with rare pictures and art depict a country in shambles where everyone might have been poor, but certainly filotimo and solidarity were the A and Z of Hellenic life. (The videos are self-explanatory) Enjoy.
