InterNations Newcomers Event for July

This month we are meeting at a beautiful neoclassical building (on the rooftop) in the center of Athens, in Monastiraki, once the home of archaeologist Kyriakos Pittakis—an early member of the Filiki Eteria and passionate about ancient history.

In 1822, his archaeological excavations uncovered the once-hidden “Clepsydra of the Acropolis”, a natural spring whose waters would overflow and disappear within the rock, resembling an hourglass turning over.

The name iof the venue "Liystor" is inspired by this remarkable discovery.

Analyzing the etymology of the word, its literal meaning is the thief of water.

Thus, LIYSTOR was born—a symbol of the flowing nature of time, or the grains of sand slipping through the hourglass, bridging past and future through a sensory journey.

If you are a new member of InterNations Athens Community or joined InterNations in the last 4 months, we would be pleased to host you at our Newcomers’ Event. This event will serve as your formal, but brief orientation to InterNations.

It will also be a great opportunity to mingle and meet other new members, ask all the questions you might have regarding life in Athens and InterNations, and simply spend a relaxed and inspiring evening in good company.
