First of all, i should point out misconception about partying. Even if people see it empty, too hedonistic, fake and within the context of drugs, alcohol and 'promiscuous life-style' it is more exception than rule. I mean, it can be all this, but party culture is also strong connected with art, friendship, traveling, enjoying music... It is subculture but also life-style which celebrates life, happines, art, moment and fun. Not just the way to escape from reality in our commercial world.
So, i would like to mention today's big day for antique art.
Few words about it.
On Monday, today morning, forklifts nosed through a sprawl of antiquities in the second-floor gallery of the New Acropolis Museum here, bearing marble statues and steles. Technicians tugged at bulky black cables, laborers drilled and welded, and a cleaning crew — many of its members working on hands and knees — scraped mounds of white plaster off the floor.
Today, almost two centuries on, many Greeks hope the opening of the museum will focus international attention on their country’s claim to the so-called Elgin Marbles, and put an end to Britain’s longtime argument that it is in a better position to look after those 2,500-year-old panels. Last week the Greek government turned down an offer from the British Museum for a three-month loan of the collection, because it came with the condition that the Greeks formally acknowledge British ownership.
The new museum, 226,000 square feet of glass and concrete designed by the New York architect Bernard Tschumi, replaces the old Acropolis Museum, a small 1874 building tucked into the rock of the Acropolis next to the Parthenon. The design, introduced in 2001, was meant to be completed in time for the 2004 Olympics, but dozens of legal battles — many having to do with some 25 buildings that were demolished to make room for it — delayed the process for years.

Ok now about Galea. After we visited museum, it is time for nightlife.
The Galea Club is unique in being both a mainstream, year-round venue catering to the local crowd, and one of the must popular summer places to where sun worshippers flock in their many thousands. This puts a lot of pressure on the venue, and especially the sound system that must operate faultlessly 24/7. The Galea combines vigorous dance floor action with a lounge aesthetic. And the club mixes an ultra-modern atmosphere with gourmet dishes in the luxurious restaurant it incorporates. The principal of PAVD, the designers and installers of the sound and lighting systems, Mr. Theodosis Paraskevakis, says that he chose to employ the Lab.gruppen amplifiers “as they are well known to be the most reliable solution when it comes to such high expectations and requirements. And I have been proved to be absolutely right in my design, as the amplifiers have provided faultless service.”
Hope so.
