The poet, anthologist, and literary critic Antonis Skiathas speaks about his hometown, Patras—its most fascinating historical landmarks, the diverse communities that shape its character, its beautiful and varied architecture, its gardens and estates, and the city’s lighthouse, from where ocean liners once departed for America.
He also discusses the Patras International Poetry Festival, which he directs and which this year celebrates its 10th anniversary, as well as the literary magazine Elitrochos.
