Every day here is unique, with a different theme representing different cultures.
On Saturday, spectators, volunteers and athletes alike danced to the mesmerizing rhythms of a Latin American band, whose artists traveled to Greece from South America just for this event.
Each tent too, is different, with information on the Games. Sponsors offer drinks and food. Indonesian, Israeli and Swiss stalls set up by separate embassies are present, giving people tastes of exotic food and other souvenirs.
Staff members from the stall of South Korea distribute pamphlets and whimsical caps in preparation for the next Games, which will be held in Pyeongchang, South Korea in 2013.
Another stall sells various memorabilia, including plushies of Apollon, as well as pins and badges commemorating the games.
"Even in difficult times of an acute economic crisis, Greece is present, hosting these Games, promoting ideals that were born here, sending the world the message of humanity, equality, solidarity," said Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou during an event held at the Greek parliament for the Games earlier.
"Greece rekindles the flame of Olympics, the flame of strength and optimism we all need," he stressed.
