Dionysos

Dionysus, the son of Zeus, is the god of viticulture, fertility, wine and ecstasy in ancient Greek myth. Music, songs, dance and wine would always be in abundance in the places where he set foot.

For this reason, the rooms of the Dionysos Hotel, located in Alıç, in the Marmaris district of southern Turkey, were labelled with the names of various kinds of wine.

Roadworks to put electronic signs over sections of the national highway between Athens and Lamia in central Greece will lead to the disruption of traffic Thursday and Friday.

The sections to be affected will be those running through the municipalities of Dionysos and Kifissia.

Traffic will be suspended in sections and diverted in others.
 

The biggest drop in house prices since the outbreak of the crisis has been recorded in the northern and northeastern suburbs of Attica, and to a somewhat lesser extent in the south of the region, with rate declines exceeding 50 percent against an average drop of 40-45 percent across Athens, according to Bank of Greece figures since 2009.
