Two classic Greek cinemas in Athens under threat for closure

"For the past few days, hundreds of Athenians have been hurrying to the historic Astor and Ideal cinemas in the center of the Greek capital to support the two art-house cinemas. "Our cinemas, our city" is what is written on the signs posted on their facades. More than 10,000 signatures were collected in just four days to save them."

GREEK FACTS

The official name of the country of Greece is the Hellenic Republic. This name reflects the country's ancient heritage and its status as a modern democratic republic. The name "Hellenic" comes from the Greek word "Hellas," which was the ancient name for Greece. The term "Republic" indicates that Greece is a democratic state with an elected government, in which the power is held by the people or their elected representatives, rather than by a, for example, a monarch.
