GREECE-ATHENS-TRADITIONAL STREET KIOSKS-LOSING

People walk past a closed street kiosk in Athens, Greece, on April 14, 2018. For over a century, Greeks and tourists can stop by their neighborhood's street kiosk 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to get newspapers, batteries or some snacks and a bottle of water. However, the kiosks, or periptera, the traditional tiny convenient stores, which can be found on corners of central avenues or district squares all over Greece, have also fallen victims of the eight-year debt crisis.
