The film about the life of the great popular singer Stelios Kazantzidis, Yparho, premiered at the Pallas Theater.

Over 1,200 people watched the film, in the presence of the director, Giorgos Tsemperopoulos, the lead actor, Christos Mastoras, as well as actors and contributors.

The “Christmas spirit” didn’t stop the rivalry between Haris Doukas and Nikos Hardalias over New Year’s Eve in Athens.

“If you like looking at the stars, you don’t have to look for them in the sky. Because this holiday season, all the stars will be parading in the Christmas Village of Attica Region in Pedion of Areos” the Attica Region noted in a statement.
