The Mount Athos Center, in collaboration with the Municipality of Eordaia and the Ptolemaida Association of Graduates of 1968, presents the exhibition of photographs by Giorgos Poupis entitled ‘Exaltation. The Cross in the Land of Mount Athos’ in Ptolemaida, the town in which he grew up.

The exhibition forms part of the ‘ELEFTHERIA 2024’ celebrations organised by the Municipality of Eordaia and is being held under the aegis of the Holy Metropolis of Florina, Prespes and Eordaia.
