Art hop on Sunday the 20th of September

A new type of “art event” is organized on Skopelos this Sunday. Nine international artists exhibit their work around Skopelos town in houses. All locations are opening their doors on Sunday September 20th between 3pm and 7:30pm. Everyone is invited to get together afterwards at Idea Cafe at 19.30 hours. There are two more exhibitions there. For the Art hop; you can start walking from any location that you want.

And for fun, a riddle has been set up, with a clue in each location! Gather all seven clues and bring your answer to Idea Cafe!

You can scan the QR code from the posters placed in many places or you can click on the two links below this post. There are also posters of the event outside the houses for recognition and there are also limited maps of the map available at Idea cafe if you don’t want to find the houses with the map on your phone.

I have made a list with all the artists and a description of the area and the house where the art is shown (I apologize in advance for any mistakes)

Enjoy the walk, enjoy Skopelos town and most of all enjoy the art!

Source: https://www.ekathimerini.com/news/1310439/storm-warning-prompts-greece-to-raise-alert-level-across-11-regions/

Greece has placed 11 regions on high alert as authorities prepare for severe weather expected to bring heavy rain, thunderstorms, strong winds and possible hail from Friday through Saturday.

The National Meteorological Service (EMY) issued an emergency weather warning, prompting the Civil Protection Ministry to activate its national response mechanism and place affected areas under “Red Code” mobilization.

The measure requires authorities to deploy personnel, equipment and emergency resources in preparation for possible flooding, storm damage and other hazards.

The Risk Assessment Committee, convened by Civil Protection Secretary-General Nikos Papaefstathiou, said the most intense weather on Friday is expected in the Sporades islands, central and northern Evia, and coastal areas of Larissa and Magnesia. Storms are also forecast for Attica, including Athens, as well as parts of Central Macedonia and Central Greece.

The affected areas include Attica, Thessaloniki, Pieria, Imathia, Halkidiki, Larissa, Magnesia, the Sporades, Evia, Thasos, Samothrace and Lemnos.

On Saturday, storms are expected to ease across mainland Greece but may remain locally strong in parts of the Aegean.
