The “Walking with the Philhellenes” project took place recently in the context of the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Greek Revolution. 62 signs for 29 Philhellenes were placed on streets of  the city bearing the names of the Philhellenic Movement as well a QRcode, which links to a web application, providing in Greek and English additional information about Philhellene and the Philhellenic Movement and also accompanying podcasts. Their portraits are displayed on them, as well as explanatory historical texts – in Greek and in English – with information about their personalities were compiled by a team of leading historians.

Santarosa, Webster, Triber, Lord Byron, Lenorman, Hayden, Mayer and many others are waiting for you to discover Athens together. Check  the website here before you start the route – there is also a map pinned with these signs.
