The establishment of the European Cultural Centre of Delphi in 1977 was one of the most emblematic cultural initiatives of Konstantinos G. Karamanlis, who expressed the belief that “nations are placed in history on the basis of their cultural performance”.
In the context of the events organised this year by the Centre to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the restoration of democracy in our country, and in the spirit of honouring the legacy of its founder, it is co-organising, with the “Konstantinos G. Karamanlis” Foundation, the event
