Shortly after it was built, the city reached a population of 10,000 inhabitants, in 1880, and was gradually abandoned due to numerous fires. 2. Hashima Island (Japan) . Between 1887 and 1974, the island represented a coal mine and at the same time the most populated place on earth, hosting over 13,000 people per square kilometer.

Drama theatre - online broadcast

-
Image
The pandemic has expanded theater audiences through online broadcasts. As live performances or as special recordings or archived videos, many theater performances have become accessible to audiences who have never set foot in theaters. But the fact that they have become accessible does not mean that they have been accessed. The public reacted with great reservations to such initiatives. Theater audiences received them with reservations because "online is not the same thing as the thing itself" (a reaction of this type, not necessarily in these words). The artists, used to seeing the spectators, did not feel well either. The theaters, although they do not stay in the ticket money, tried to market the new product online. Very rarely were the performances made available to the public free of charge. Access charging creates great barriers not only because of the price, which was not high, but also because of the lack of habit in making such purchases and the lack of knowledge of ...

The main ferry lines in Greece (maps and tips)

-
Image
Greece Ferry Boats You can travel with your own car from continental Europe to many of the Greek islands, starting with Crete and Santorini, which are some of the biggest tourist attractions. You can occasionally drive your own car to Rhodes using ferries from Athens, but this destination is more easily accessible via Turkey. Destinations for which the ferry is recommended: Crete - given the very large size of the island and the large number of tourist attractions spread throughout the island, your own car can provide you with excellent mobility. The main port of arrival on the island is Chania, and from here you can visit the main beaches in the north-west of the island, the archaeological area in the central area, the south with old Orthodox monasteries. Also, in the south you can choose to travel the distance between Agia Roumeli and Loutro by ferry (but you also have a road route as an alternative). Other important destinations with ferry access are the island of Santorini (possibl...

Therefore, many sunsets are for sale in art galleries, for every home and for every group of the public. So, how much does a sunset cost? One that will never pass and remain, regardless of the time, available, accessible and shining?
