CASINO TRANSFERS

The facility hospitalized many of the TB patients of the Greek capital city.

After the discovery of penicillin, the existence of the facility was deemed unnecessary and the premises were bought in 1965 by the Hellenic Tourism Organization, housing firstly a hotel and later being turned into the School of Tourism. The structure was finally abandoned in 1985.

Two of the typical items you will see a lot in various shops all over the country are the worry beads and the evil eye, both available in many colors and material. The locals carry these beads as a way to relax or get through hard times, as many cultures or religions have strings of beads for similar purposes.
