The pandemic didn't stop hundreds of Greeks from recently enjoying a musical bonanza, as reported on Reuters, as the music-lovers practiced social distancing by dancing and singing from their cars.
This drive-in music concert is the first of its kind since the country banned mass gatherings to contain the spread of the coronavirus.
People enjoyed a free performance by Greek singer Natasa Theodoridou while they sat on the hood of their cars parked at designated slots in a soccer stadium in the Athens seaside suburb of Glyfada on Tuesday night.
“I have never done something like this before, it’s a nice experience, a new experience,” spectator Zoe Georgiou told Reuters before the concert.
The 300 car positions were raffled off from more than 7,000 applications in a lottery. The event was organised by the municipality of Glyfada and was aimed at bringing joy to residents after weeks in lockdown, the mayor said.
Natasa added: “This is an example to all of us that nothing stops, we can do everything if we have patience and positive thoughts,"
The lockdown was imposed in Greece in March and started easing restrictions on May 4. Live concerts are expected to resume from July 15.
