Olympiacos drew 1-1 with Kallithea at “Georgos Karaiskakis” ground on Thursday morning to advance 2-1 on aggregate, booking their ticket to the next stage of the tournament. The visitors gave the “red-whites” a huge early scare as they took the lead in the second minute of the contest through defender Giorgos Manthatis, making it level on aggregate in the process. Olympiacos managed to cancel it out in the 24th minute, thanks to a goal from winger Kristoffer Velde (who also scored the winner in the previous leg), with the Norwegian’s strike proving enough for them to progress. The Piraeus outfit now awaits the outcome of the Panathinaikos-Atromitos tie, with them set to play the winner of that tie. Currently, it seems they will face their eternal enemy after the Greens downed the Peristeriotes 1-2 away in the first leg. Atromitos took an early lead after a tap-in goal by striker Tom Van Weert, though the “Trifylli” was able to overcome the deficit following goals by midfielder Adam Cerin (45+2′) and Azzedine Ounahi (54′). While Panathinaikos vs Olympiacos is yet to be confirmed, we are guaranteed at least one derby in the quarter-finals after PAOK made light work of Egaleo to book a meeting with AEK (who had progressed past Aris 2-1 on aggregate after their 1-1 draw on Wednesday). The Thessaloniki giants smashed their opponents 7-1 at “Toumba” ground with goals coming from Shola Shoretire (6′), Tarik Tissoudali (12′, 47′, 51′), Andrija Zivkovic (36′), Taison (79′) and Brandon Thomas (81′). The second division side earned one consolation through Ierotheos Dritsas (23′), though it did little to stop PAOK’s domination as they finished with a 10-1 victory on aggregate. OFI managed to advance past Volos despite losing 0-1 away, with the Cretans’ 3-1 win in the previous leg providing enough distance as they earned a 3-2 triumph on aggregate. OFI will now face second division side Panachaiki in the next round. The other quarter-final tie will be decided after the second legs between Panserraikos-Panionios and Asteras Tripolis-Zakynthos on Friday morning, with the likelihood being that the two first division clubs will advance and face one another. In terms of the Greek Super League, the country’s top clubs will be eyeing maximum points this weekend as they prepare for the 14th round of the competition. Olympiacos will open the round with a home clash against Volos on Sunday morning, which will be followed by Aris hosting Atromitos. The following day will see all three of PAOK, AEK and Panathinaikos going away in search of three points against Panserraikos, OFI and Asteras Tripolis respectively. Lamia hosts Panetolikos in the other Monday game as they strive for their first win in the league since the very first matchday. Kallithea plays Levadiakos in the round’s final match on Tuesday morning, with the clubs each battling for a crucial win against a fellow relegation rival.

But that doesn't tell the whole story,” says Dan Sandison, Head of Brand of MUNDIAL Magazine I think when you hear Athens as the first word of a football club's name Especially if you haven't heard of them before then you look at the imagery and it all starts to make sense.” Philipakos was one of the brains behind Venezia FC the now-famous club based out of Venice that became known for its stylish kits and aesthetically pleasing editorials Following his departure from the Italian side earlier this year to take up a full-time position in Athens the 42-year-old is ready to go one step further with Kallithea “Everything I’m doing can be traced back to my childhood relationship to football,” says Philipakos a golden age of football in many respects — the dawn of the Premier League That era is foundational in my view of the game; the way it should feel And while aesthetics are gravely important to Philipakos and his long-term goals he’s aware that on the pitch there have to be improvements too Since leading a group acquisition of the Athens-based club in August 2021 the team has gone from mid-table obscurity to finishing second in the league — their highest since they were a top-flight team seventeen years ago Philipakos is strategic in his ambitions for the team Rather than promotion to the Super League Greece he’s aiming for UEFA Competitions within the next five years Your Highsnobiety privacy settings have blocked this Instagram post.Enable All MediaManage consentPrivacy policyWhy Athens Kallithea FC The club has a small but distinctive stadium right in the heart of Athens in the shadow of the Acropolis and just off Syngrou Avenue the main road that connects the city center to the Athens Riviera and Kallithea is a traditional Athenian neighborhood with the right kind of social values which you can start to understand from the anti-fascist it had a modest but respectable history for us to build upon and I was attracted to the club’s blue and white being the national colors because there's a symbolism for what we want to do here What are your goals with the club on the pitch but we want to reach the top five in the first division and qualify for UEFA competitions within five years It's not realistic or our intention to challenge the traditional top four clubs [Olympiacos we’re just not going to have the same resources but we want to find creative ways to compete and establish ourselves as a respected team at the higher end of the league that could emerge in Europe Your Highsnobiety privacy settings have blocked this Instagram post.Enable All MediaManage consentPrivacy policyAnd off it our highest goal is to contribute to a repositioning of football in Greece It’s a country that has won a European championship with several historic clubs who have been competitive in Europe and some of the most passionate supporters in the world It just needs a fresh perspective and a few adjustments to get back to its best and beyond Greece is one of the most visited countries in the world so there is a global relevance if football is going well here I just felt like Athens was too absent in the landscape of football culture and media and this project was partly motivated to push for representation This is something that started at Venezia FC the club was coming out of bankruptcy and the fourth division hardly anyone in Venice cared about the team and hardly anyone outside of Venice knew it existed But I thought it was really cool and beautiful there was a sort of defiance to the approach because the way modern football has been organized and the way modern media relates to the game basically you’re Man City and the like or you’re worthless I wanted to help a small club make a statement to have its pride and punch above its weight I’ve been leading this project with my brother Peter Your Highsnobiety privacy settings have blocked this Instagram post.Enable All MediaManage consentPrivacy policyWhat was your relationship to football growing up? Where does the drive to take on a project like this come from? I grew up in New York but in a Greek household, and I discovered European football at large on family trips to Greece, which opened a whole new world for me. I would rush to the newsstands in Athens that were importing When Saturday Comes, FourFourTwo, and other magazines from England and just devour them. I couldn’t find those in New York, and obviously this was pre-internet. From an outsider’s perspective, the beauty of a club like Athens Kallithea FC will be in the kits, the well-shot IG reels, and the campaigns around it. But when you dive a little deeper, the ambition, love, and desire to succeed is just as astounding. The story of Athens Kallithea FC may only just be beginning, but believe me when I say it’s going to be a good one. Police responded to a potentially dangerous situation in the Athens suburb of Kallithea on Friday afternoon after a man armed with an axe threatened passersby before locking himself up inside an apartment A police negotiator has arrived at the scene to assist in resolving the standoff No further details are available at this time Forge FC announced Friday the signing of Serbian left-back Marko Jevremović to a multi-year contract The 28-year-old defender brings a wealth of experience from Europe and Serbia throughout his professional career “Marko is a dynamic defender with exceptional technical ability and experience at a high level in European football,” said Bobby Smyrniotis “His ability to contribute on both sides of the ball makes him a valuable addition to our squad as we continue to build for the upcoming season.” Jevremović most recently played in Greece with Athens Kallithea during the 2024 season after a stint with Bosnian club FK Zvijezda 09 he featured prominently for Cypriot side Enosis Neon Paralimniou making 38 appearances while tallying one goal and five assists Jevremović spent three seasons (2020-2022) with Serbian club FK Javor-Matis Ivanjica recording 98 appearances with two goals and 20 assists He began his professional career with FK Mladost Lučani in 2019 Jevremović has made 161 professional appearances He has also earned an international cap for the Serbian national team Chris Kontos / @kennedymagazineVenezia FC’s reign as football’s most fashionable club is officially over The Athens-based outfit — which last year garnered itself a myriad of overseas fans when it dropped its 2022/23 home and away jerseys — has revealed its kits for the 2023/24 campaign It reminds me of something from the nineties Perhaps it's the elbow-length sleeves or the little button-up collar Or the fact I can literally envisage an ageing Stuart Pearce drying the ball with the midriff of one of these during his Nottingham Forest days When it comes to the Athens Kallithea FC away kit It's something very much more of the now with its gold and white detailing and a pleasing crew neck collar Your Highsnobiety privacy settings have blocked this Twitter post.Enable All MediaManage consentPrivacy policySo impressive is Athens Kallithea FC's 2023/24 uniforms I'd expect a similar instantaneous sell-out to what we saw last season In fact, such is football’s recent willingness to embrace the world of fashion — and the fact that these new kits are even nicer than last year’s — they’ll fly off the e-shelves even faster this time around Chris Kontos / @kennedymagazineLike last season Athens Kallithea teamed up with Munich-based design studio both of which are more than worthy of a space in anybody’s closet Your Highsnobiety privacy settings have blocked this Twitter post.Enable All MediaManage consentPrivacy policyBetter still when it comes to the sponsors you couldn’t get more Greek if you tried Each kit features the ΕΜΣΤ wordmark of the National Museum of Contemporary Art Athens on its chest which marks a first-of-its-kind partnership between a professional football club and an arts and culture institution The shirts — which are slated to be landing in early September — will be available exclusively on shop.akfc66.gr and inside the ΕΜΣΤ museum shop. But let me tell you: you’ll have to have fast, because these babies won’t hang around long. That’s for sure. Premia Properties’ deal to buy two hotels in Kallithea The hotels are the 534-room Sunwing Kallithea Beach and the 262-room Sunwing Makrigialos & Ocean Beach Club Swedish company Nordic Leisure Travel Group will continue to operate the hotels but will lease the properties from Premia for an initial period of 15 years with an option for a further 10 Premia will finance the €112.5 million deal with its own funds plus a corporate bond to be underwritten by National Bank of Greece which will be finalized by the end of the year will raise the value of Premia Properties’ portfolio above €500 million while rent income will increase by about €8.5 million “We were interested in entering the hospitality market through the acquisition of hotels,” Premia CEO Kostas Markazos told Kathimerini “These units serve our strategy and are in the category because they because we consider them very volatile,” he added Markazos further noted that the two hotels are right on the beach something that new construction cannot offer due to building code restrictions Running in Kallithea Kallithea has established itself as a key destination for running enthusiasts the area attracts both local athletes and international visitors who share a passion for running The Kallithea Run – April 6 One of the most anticipated events on the running calendar is the “Kallithea Run” The starting and finishing point is at Davaki Square in Kallithea The 10 km route takes runners along El Venizelos Avenue (Thiseos) Runners then continue to Isminis Street before returning to Davaki Square the 2.5 km route offers a compact experience along a similar path Looking Back: The Kallithea Half Marathon 2024 Another highlight in Kallithea’s running scene was the “Kallithea Half Marathon” The event featured race distances of 21.1 km starting from the iconic Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC) This renowned cultural venue not only provided a picturesque backdrop but also enhanced the event’s vibrant atmosphere Kallithea’s dedication to promoting running as a healthy and accessible sport is evident through its diverse events and well-maintained facilities Both locals and visitors benefit from numerous opportunities to stay active and enjoy the city’s welcoming environment The driving force behind these successful events is Panagiotis Dimakos, European Council Member and Senior Vice President of Hellenic Athletic. His longstanding experience and commitment to the sport have helped shape Kallithea into a premier running destination in Greece Whether you're a seasoned runner or a casual jogger, Kallithea offers the perfect setting to hit the pavement and immerse yourself in the energy of the city Link: kallithearun.gr Kathimerini journeys to the central market of Kallithea are as vivid as the smells and flavors of the food my grandfather would come home with a cart full of colorful semi-transparent plastic bags full of fruits and vegetables It was one of those old metal carts that allowed you to see everything squeezed in or tied to the sides: fruits bunches of parsley and scallions that were easier to see because they protruded from paper bags White and gray wrapping paper with folkloric illustrations meanwhile wrapped meat and fish He would fill his shopping cart at the covered market in Kallithea a ritual he followed consistently every week and then distribute the fresh “spoils” to the whole family I used to call it a “farmers’ market” because that’s what it looked like to me except it was open every day and it was indoors I realized along the way that it was more than just a place where my grandfather bought fruit and vegetables; it was an important part of the history of Kallithea but the market of Kallithea remains almost the same and unchanged On the counters of its stalls and stores is almost its entire 70-year history: from the first Pontian merchants who built it who had arrived following the population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1922 to their children and grandchildren who keep the businesses going today to the younger ones who have chosen it and keep the so-called “little Varvakeio” of Kallithea alive – in reference to the big covered market in downtown Athens Haralampos Polatidis will not give up the market for anything Entering from the Gryparis Street entrance in the first small but colorful store you encounter you’ll find the whole history of the market you will see Haralampos Polatidis sitting in the back and his daughter Ioanna has been running the store for years – many of the market’s stalls and stores have seen the second or even third generation take over the family business Haralampos is also descendant from the Pontus refugees who settled in Kallithea after the Asia Minor Catastrophe and long before the market took the form we know today they set up their stalls with their wares in the surrounding streets He remembers the times when they would move from Filaretou Street to Platonos Street with their goods Many of the market’s stalls and stores have seen the second or even third generation take over the family business in 1956 the open-air merchants managed to buy the two plots of land where the market is now located (flanked by Gryparis Platonos and Davaki) and by the following year the market you can’t help but admit that something is going on with the number 56 in this case which in turn were distributed using a lottery system and Haralampos was allotted store number 56 the market’s oldest merchant recounts the story of the landmark He remembers that when the market opened there was a big frenzy as there weren’t supermarkets on every corner back then is also the busiest part of the market – it’s the stretch that starts from Platonos and ends at Gryparis I ask if he ever thought about leaving the market to do something else disagrees: “I’m among those who want to leave,” she says but officially at the helm of the family grocery store since 1995 Ioanna Polatidi points out that it’s a very tiring job requiring you to be there around 15 hours a day She makes no secret of the fact that foot traffic in the market is now down and they often make enough just to cover expenses “But I’m grateful to all those who come,” she says because “our market is a jewel.” Even if not everyone knows it “Me and Haralampos have been here the longest,” says Stavros Antonopoulos as he sips his coffee “The others are gone.” He looks elegant in his flat cap and long coat Although he claims to be there the second longest it has been years since he stopped working at the market the first eight years at one store and the next 25 in another – both of which he rented so the stores have changed hands since then He had moved to Kallithea a year earlier and taken a job at the cheese counter in the Gavalakis brothers’ supermarket right next to the market on Platonos Street (to locals where the Hytiroglou homeware store is today) Stavros says it was the only supermarket in Kallithea at the time the heart of the district’s shopping center attracted people from the surrounding areas the market was so busy that the limit on how far each store could expand was very specific: “We couldn’t even put a crate beyond the line,” he recalls there are no such restrictions; it’s generally not as busy but traditionally more people visit the market on Saturdays The seasoned veteran of the market has quietly come to embrace the job that had been essentially his entire life and Something still binds him to this corner of his neighborhood so strongly that he chooses to come here every morning to drink his coffee to chat with friends and acquaintances and to watch people go by we will continue coming here,” he says with disarming determination The whole market has had coffee from the hands of Lefteris The market used to have a coffee shop upstairs (this upper floor is now used for storage) and the employees would lower a tray of hot coffee to the shopkeepers with a rope There were other interesting inventions at the market: If you see some old loudspeakers somewhere in the center but to make announcements for small children who had lost their parents in the hustle and bustle As one of the newest additions to the market Lefteris Zontiros has also heard these stories He is from Piraeus and four years ago was wandering around the area looking for a store to rent but he happened to see one of its corner stores on Platonos Street for rent brewing coffee – even on sand for the more discerning clients He keeps his small coffee pots and coffee machines ready from the moment the first catches hit the fishmongers’ shelves until noon so almost every merchant has visited Lefteris’ coffee shop He also has his standard customers whose orders he’s memorized – he knows who wants what coffee at eight his employee both helps make the coffees and then deliver them on foot The most gourmet flavors of the market can be found in Kaspar’s store Kaspar Batanian’s story begins more than a century ago in the depths of Asia Minor That is where his grandfather – who had the same name as his grandson – lived in the claimed homeland of pastourma – well-seasoned Grandfather Batanian knew all the secrets of the most famous Eastern mezes as well as other specialties such as crab meat and the pig head jelly known as “pichti.” Also having fled during the Asia Minor catastrophe in 1922 The Greek port was probably introduced to pastourma by someone just like him Kaspar (the grandfather) opened a small workshop where he prepared his fine delicacies his son took over another small store and began selling the family’s products in the Piraeus market the Batanian family have become masters of pastourma and sausages Kaspar (the grandson) and his brother Aram have several stores in Attica have taken over the family factory in Koropi Kaspar makes his way to his store at the heart of the Kallithea market They’ve moved around the market several times over the years and today their deli houses some of the market’s most distinctive tastes and smells but there are also other delicacies like the spreads The owner won’t let you leave until you’ve tried at least some of these delicacies At a time when some of the market’s stores in Kallithea have closed and most of the merchants admit that business is down “because young people don’t have time and prefer to get everything ready at the supermarket,” one wonders how a store like Ar.Kas (that’s how the two brothers named it after the initials of their first names) with more specialized products can survive And yet it survives precisely because of this while most others go first to do their basic shopping and then stop by the store to pick up special treats especially if they are having a dinner party chopping and washing fruits and vegetables there’s a grocery store with its fruits and vegetables so impeccably arranged that the crates almost look like they’ve been pulled out of a cartoon Irini Maroulidou sits on a stool among the fresh produce peeling a pomegranate and placing the seeds in a transparent container she had also chopped and washed some greens that a regular customer and friend of her daughter had come to buy “ready to cook,” so that she could prepare them before she goes to the office while her daughter Julia sells their produce “We don’t let our mom handle any technology she’s done something crazy,” her daughter says with a laugh Irini accidentally entered 400,000 euros into the cash register instead of 40 euros Irini has been at the Kallithea market since 1966 she came to Athens from Messinia in the Peloponnese to get married “She is known as the market bride,” says her daughter Julia who was the second generation to take over the grocery store – his parents were among the first Pontians to establish the market and with the third generation now in charge Irini continues to come every day to make sure the produce is properly arranged “Sunday is the only day I don’t come,” she says we just have lots of cooking to do to feed the children confirming that it’s as if the older generation of Greek women can never really sit down and the regulars are now like friends of the store owners – they come maybe even sit down for a coffee – Julia admits that “the world of the market has changed a lot Something has to be done to revive the market It has remained as it was built.” Nonetheless she has found a way to attract younger customers who may not know exactly where her store is located: She has put it on the delivery service apps she’s sneaking a peek at her tablet to see if a new order has arrived On the way to the second entrance of the market on Platonos Street the song “Prayer” by Spyros Zagoraios can be heard in the background A few more steps and you realize that it is coming from the loudspeakers of the Acropolis grocery store the youngest man in the store is cutting and weighing cheese at the counter while the other two are making small talk over coffee and a cigarette One of the two market veterans is Pericles Antonopoulos (no relation to the aforementioned Stavros Antonopoulos) who has been behind the counter for 52 years – now more relaxed since his son everything is reminiscent of ancient Greece Pericles has been working in grocery stores since he was 10 years old he was already tired of the idea and said to himself “I’ll be anything in life except a grocer.” But things have a funny way of working out Pericles found himself for the first time as an employee of the Acropolis store – the date is permanently etched in his memory which then operated as an outlet for the factory of the same name producing sausages “I came for a while and ended up staying for 50 years,” he says the original owner of Acropolis sold him the business to do something else The Acropolis sausage factory was located in Tzitzifies next to the grocery store where Pericles worked at the time which was among the nightclubs of Tzitzifies that were then in their heyday: “To become a singer you had to pass through the Faliriko nightclub,” Pericles recalls referring to one of the most legendary nightclubs in the area on the marquee of which were written the names of greats like Vassilis Tsitsanis The young Pericles was suddenly caught between two worlds: the morning world of the grocery store and the evening world of the nightclub which was waiting for him a few doors away He carried supplies from the grocery store to the nightclubs – fruit on platters for the customers and ingredients for the workers to cook and eat and he found himself doing some night work “I would use the three-wheeler to take food back and forth all night from the warehouses to the nightclubs,” Pericles recalls and when it was dawn and the party was over we collected the broken dishes in barrels with shovels,” he recalls Supplying food to a nightclub seems more tiring than managing a grocery store in a marketplace But Pericles notes that although it was hard work at the nightclubs Pericles would carry heavy loads from the warehouse to the store by hand At least now his son Aristomenis has taken over and Pericles can enjoy his favorite songs coming from the loudspeakers you will eventually see Chrysoula Kapiri walking by It is no surprise that she is the market’s president; she is straightforward she is behind the counter of the market bakery This is where she found herself 30 years ago when her children were 5 and 12 “It was the market that helped me raise my children,” she says She often speaks of her children with pride One of her sons is a photographer in Finland Many members of her family have similar interests as Chrysoula gained an interest in baking from her cousins noting that there have been many changes in recent years And there is no shortage of difficulties: the market is privately owned so it doesn’t get any government or city funding and it’s hard for the owners to renovate the building (which has remained virtually unchanged) without some help she’s not losing hope: “I think the market will hold up and we’ll continue here,” she says she doesn’t mind because she’s in a place she loves: “We older people have learned to work a lot The market does not exist without its peripheral stores the tastes and smells continue to come from small carefully set-up stores Opposite the entrance to the market on Platonos Street a small “jungle” will catch the eye of even the most distracted passer-by which also extends to the back of the almost deserted Platon shopping center while many of the colorful flowerpots are displayed in two vans out front They come to the store every day from 7 a.m which they put on display and then gather up each day She’s been working at the florist’s for 16 years and takes it upon herself to tell us the history of the store as Maria is a bit shy – she just fills in some of the blanks Back when there were still stalls in the streets and before the market took the form we know today Maria’s mother ran a store a few meters away from the current flower shop Her grandparents were also refugees from Pontus they were given some land and that’s how they ended up with the store Long before concept stores combined the most unlikely goods under one roof as a clear sign of the gentrification of a city the family’s store consisted of flowers for sale on one side and an art gallery on the other he suddenly fell ill and died when Maria was only 6 years old and since then her mother has kept only the flower shop which her daughter continues to lovingly run to this day before the market was built and long before florists became the kind of stores you find in every neighborhood “I’ve been here since I was born,” says Maria Although the two workers are busy helping customers while we’re there Spyridoula tells us that business is down by their standards “It depends on the season,” the employee tells me anemones and freesias are the most popular.” and it’s “nice and fragrant,” Spyridoula tells us as she wraps up two cyclamen plants for us to take home as living souvenirs an excited customer had left with a bright red carnation in his hand we took a quick look at the back courtyard of the flower shop an open-air nursery where the open spaces of the old apartment buildings and the two-story building of the flower shop meet Kennedy Magazine / Chris KontosIf
