The Hadrian Aqueduct of Athens | An marvel of ancient Roman engineering springs back to life

Hadrian’s Aqueduct in Athens is the only Roman aqueduct of this type and size that has been constructed in Europe and that still carries water. This monumental technical construction of the ancient world does not only have great cultural value, but it can also be utilized to reduce the city’s environmental footprint.

The Greek government is supporting a multi-dimensional plan to put this ancient aqueduct back into use, in order both to cover current needs for irrigation water, and to develop new places of cultural and environmental interest.

The Greek summer has always been more than just a season—it’s a cinematic state of mind. From the sunlit islands to the sweltering streets of Athens, filmmakers have used it as a backdrop to tell stories of love, loss, obsession, and rebirth.

☀️🎬 We go on a journey through 10 unforgettable Greek films—from the poetic loneliness of "Οι Απέναντι" (1981) and the childhood nostalgia of "Το Δέντρο που Πληγώναμε" (1986), to cult favorites like "Φτηνά Τσιγάρα" (2000), the unsettling "Suntan" (2016), and the tender, dreamlike "Κιούκα" (2024).

Each film paints the Greek summer in a different light—sometimes idyllic, sometimes harsh, but always deeply human. 🌊🍉🏖️
