Athens: Five metro stations open all night for the Homeless Dec 30/16-Jan 3/17

This may be the coldest night of 2016. At 6:15 p.m. and the thermometer in my balcony proudly shows 3 degrees Celsius. Surviving a cold night it’s not a challenge only for the many households that cannot afford heating in times of economic crisis.

It is especially tough for the homeless who sometimes reject a place in a shelter.
