As it happens every year, the 35th Book Fair in Athens once again kept its annual appointment (September 15 to October 1) with book lovers. It took place at the heart of the historical centre of Athens, on Dionissiou Areopagitou's pedestrian way at the foot of the Acropolis. The Book Fair this year was dedicated to the great Greek poet Odysseus Elytis while the poster of the event was created by artist V. Sperantzas.
The Book Fair was characterized by both the broad variety and high quality of books on exhibit. Tens of pavilions and more than 300 publishers and their personnel were informing visitors on their publishing activity.
The cultural events that took place in the context of the book fair included discussions, a film screening on Elytis, story telling for kids and a concert with songs featuring lyrics from Elytis' poems.
