16/1/2021 - Greece / Attica / Athens - In Piraeus Alexandra Toumazatou is a descendant of "peripteras". She rents the kiosk from her 87-year-old owner mother, who was assigned the business after World War II. Since the start of the coronavirus crisis it has lost 50% of its turnover.
“I never expected to see a kiosk with the curtain down. The future is closed for us, there is too much competition and big business will eat us up. Few of us will stay, those in a strategic or touristic location will stay. But us, we will die. ”

16/1/2021 - Greece / Attica / Athens - Leonidas Spalas, president of the association (ELPIS) of kiosks in Piraeus rents a kiosk like 90% of the "peripteras".
"I work with my daughter and I must be optimistic about the profession because it is about my daughter's future that we are talking about but it is necessary to reopen immediately! The curfew forces us to close at 9 p.m. because there is no one left out at night, that's a big loss. Monday I will reopen the periptero for the day because some businesses are authorized to reopen and I hope that the request will be present. "

12/1/2021 - Greece / Attica / Athens - Theodoros Mallios President of the association of "periptero" kiosks of Athens has lost 60% of its turnover since April 2020.
"The perpitptero is not just a kiosk selling cigarettes and newspapers, it is the soul of the city and its neighborhoods. The situation is absurd. In some areas of Athens crime is on the rise, it is normal to close the only presence that provides a little security. At night without periptero? it’s unthinkable, it’s madness. "
