\n On Sunday, May 25 a special guided walk through the historic center of Athens, dedicated to Odysseas Elytis, during which we will explore and rediscover the city through his gaze and writings, took place for our Cycladic Friends. The route concluded at the new museum bearing his name, which highlights the life and work of the Nobel Prize\u2013winning poet.\n <\/div>\n \n \n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n

Following in the footsteps of Odysseas Elytis, Cycladic Friends took part in a walking tour through the heart of Athens\u2014the city that served as a refuge, a source of inspiration, and a constant point of reference for the poet. During the walk, they visited selected sites of historical and cultural significance\u2014caf\u00e9s, bookstores, streets, and neighborhoods\u2014that were gathering places for Elytis and his generation. At the same time, through readings of excerpts from his work, they sought to approach the way he perceived the city, as well as his relationship with light, space, and language.<\/p>\n

\u201cAthens is a city where I lived most of my life, yet never felt that I belonged to it. And yet, I carry it within me as something of my own.\u201d
\n\u2014Odysseas Elytis<\/p>\n

The guided walk was led by Anna Pentalakou, art historian and cultural producer, while the tour of the Elytis House Museum was conducted by Ioulita Iliopoulou, Director of the Museum.<\/p>\n\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
