Location information

Para Thin Alos (by the seaside)

KALAMARIA (Suburb of Thessaloniki) THESSALONIKI
This is a phrase by Homer that means by the sea, on the beach and it marks these activities that the Municipality of Kalamaria has been organizing for year. The events take place on the only beach in the city of Thessaloniki, Aretsou beach. They have been cherished by the people and praised by the press and the media. The first events of "Para thin alos" were organized in 1991 and came as an evolvement of the "Meeting of the Composers of Thessaloniki" which at that time already existed for 9 years. Ever since the first events took place, the Municipality felt that they should embrace various forms of art (music, dancing, exhibitions, cinema, lectures, and e.t.c.) by focusing in a thematic circle each time.
