Geocache Description:

Kolonaki, literally "Little Column" is a neighborhood in central Athens. It is a wealthy, chic and upmarket district, and a fashionable meeting area with a lot of cafes. As one of the capital's leading shopping areas, it includes a number of high-end boutiques from young adult to casual fashion to prestigious haute couture from Greek and international designers.

The cache is placed at Filiki Etaireia Square, named after the secret organization of 19th century. In the newly reconstructed square and little park can be found the statues of the 3 founders of this organization, Nikolaos Skoufas from Arta province, Emmanuil Xanthos from Patmos island and Athanasios Tsakalov from Epirus.
