A Journey To Athens Of 1961

British Pathé, the world’s leading multimedia resource, has released a newsreel documenting Athens of 1961 and takes us all on a journey back in time.

The footage is sure to bring back memories to many with the retro cars and buses, a much “younger” Syntagma Square and the Greek capital’s old airport at Elliniko.

Ah.... it hasn't changed at all!  ;)

Actually I don't think Piraeus harbour looked like that even in 1961!

I enjoyed that.

A blast from the past was seeing a SABENA plane at the old airport.

I flew with them once and found out what the name stood for.
