ELEFSINA

 

The Greek city of Elefsina has caused its agenda for its term as cultural capital 2023, focusing on culture, humanity, city and environment, under the general title “2023 Elevsis Mysteries of transition”.

 

Initially set for 2021, Elefsina’s term was pushed back to 2023 on the initiative of the European Commission due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on preparations.
