Celebrate 4th of July in Athens

 

The Event - A 'progressive party' that starts in Athens!

 

6:15 PM - Our free bus leaves from Doukissis Plakentias Metro Station

7:00 PM - Bus and cars rendezvous in the parking lot of the Tomb of the Athenians at Marathon
This classic battle for Athenian freedom in 490 BC helped inspire America's own independence struggle. We'll say a few words before driving the 8 minutes to our party destination at the beach.

7:30 PM - Enjoy a traditional beach party
Café Me Ammo, on the beach at Nea Makri
Me Ammo has a fine public beach, green grass, sand, and a shower.
So, come 'beach casual.' Bring swimming gear if you want.
We’ll have our reserved space to eat, drink, and talk.
Top it off with the Declaration of Independence, US and Greek national anthems, and eco-friendly light sparklers!

The Route - Two ways to get there

The Gritty Details

€25 (that's $27) per person contribution, includes round-trip bus transport (free for members and friends), a basic July 4 menu, cake, sparklers, and a glass of wine or beer. Infants: no charge. Children 2-11: €15 ($16).

Reservations are required. Seats on the bus are limited. Also, Me Ammo needs a meal count (not limited). Non-citizen friends and family members are very welcome! But, as a reminder, we can only accept contributions from US citizens.

To make your Reservation, follow THIS LINK to our google form.

It's pretty short and painless! But it let's us know who, how many for meals and bus seats, etc. AND the link to our DAGR Donate page is on the form. You can pay by credit card or PayPal. A couple of easy steps and we're all good to go! 

We've set the donation at $27 for adults to cover the banking fees we encounter. But if you can and want, please feel free to "round up" a little to help us cover the cost.

It's going to be a great event, full of good friends, good chat and meaningful fun, as always.

See you there!
