Kennedy magazine founder Chris Kontos shares his celebration of the Athens’ cultural life. 

Athens is a city still unknown to many despite its recent resurgence as an artistic destination. Jumping on the gentrification train a bit later than other European cities, it still retains on old charm through its 1920’s apartments, vintage clothes boutiques and theatres that contradict the city’s almost anarchic architecture – a pastiche of different styles layered for years on top of each other.

We (Chris Kontos, stylist Daphne Iliaki and model Elina Vasilkovskaya) took to the streets of Athens, and visited a few of the city’s apartments, to revel in the mystery of a city that still captivates its residents and visitors alike.
