6. The neighborhood
History
Peisistratou str: Peisistratos, the son of Hippocrates, was a ruler of ancient
Athens. While in power, Peisistratos did not hesitate to confront the
aristocracy, reduce their privileges, confiscate their lands and give them to
the poor. He promoted the cult of Athena as the city's chief deity, and his
measures to increase trade and economic prosperity prepared the way for
Athens preeminence in Greece. With the support of the impoverished
peasants he ruled between 561 and 527 BCE.
Tzitzifies: In the southern suburb of Kallithea lies the downtempo district of
Tzitzifies. The area took it's name from the tree 'tzitzifia', most of which
vanished through the ages. Until the early 70's the shore of Tzitzifies was
the epicentre of the entertainment; the population of Athens, including
every neighborhood and economic class, were strolling south to join the
famous open taverns with live orchestras. For almost 50 years the popular
singers of 'rembetiko' were giving their best efforts to entertain the
multicoloured audience, within a cheap and simple recipe: 'retsina' wine,
fish plates and unlimited dancing. Nowadays the live orchestras have
vanished and most of the taverns have closed or demolished to give their
place to the new era of Athens.
Present days
In 2006, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation announced its plans to fund the
development of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC), a project
that includes the construction and complete outfitting of new facilities for the National
Library of Greece (NLG) and the Greek National Opera (GNO), as well as the creation
of the 170,000 m² Stavros Niarchos Park.
Soon, Athens will have a vast Park that will significantly improve the lives of
all those residing in the capital, Greece will possess state-of-the-art Library
and Opera facilities for the first time, and the world will cherish another
architectural achievement.
