[01] Munich aid to Olympia
The Municipality of Munich has offered 150,000 euros for the
reforestation of the Kronios Hill and the protection of the
archaelogical site of Ancient Olympia.
The German ambassador in Greece Wolfgang Schultheiss handed over a
check to Culture Minister Michalis Liapis at the ministry office, with
the latter asking the ambassador to convey Greece's appreciation to
Munich.
According to a German embassy announcement, Munich, which hosted the
1972 Olympic Games, feels particularly attached to Ancient Olympia, and
furthermore, the Munich mayor Christian Ude has long-standing ties to
Greece, being pronounced an honorary citizen of the Cyclades island of
Mykonos in 2001.
