It\u2019s a bit of a climb to reach the rooftop terrace, but once there you\u2019ll marvel at the panoramic views of all of Athens. The cinema originally opened when a Greek hairdresser who used to live in Paris made the space an homage to French film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Today the space maintains its romantic ambiance, featuring largely classic Hollywood or French films<\/strong>.
