[01] Las Incantadas attracted 170,000 visitors of TIF
ANA/MPA---Over 200,000 people visited the 80th Thessaloniki International
Fair (TIF) despite that difficult economic climate, the capital controls
and the banking holiday imposed in Greece.
The number of visitors reached 216,300 and 170,000 of them visited
"Las Incantadas", the statues that are known as "the Caryatides of
Thessaloniki" that returned home (as copies from Louvre), 150 years
after their stealing from the city.
Pavilion 3 that hosts Las Incantadas and the exhibition "the most
important inventions and the music instruments of the Ancient Greeks "
will close for a short period for maintenance works and will reopen in
early October.
TIF-Hellexpo will gift the statues to the city when the suitable location
to place them will be found.
