Papadiamantis: The Athens Years - Self Guided Tour

 

Discover the life and works of Alexandros Papadiamantis (1851-1911), “the saint of greek novels” who is one of the most important greek novelists. Stories from his school or the Varvakios Agora, his favourite church and the restaurant he used to write for hours. HIGHLIGHTS Highlights include Kachrimanis’ grocery store, where Papadiamantis often ate late at night during the winter months; the Church of the Prophet Elissaios, where for many years, every Saturday evening, Alexander attended the Divine Liturgy and sang hymns; and a visit to Parnassus, the stately mansion where the crème of the Athenian society held a literary evening in a desperate effort to collect funds for a destitute Papadiamantis.
