Q&A

What is Theologos?
A seaside village, one and a half hour away from Athens, in the district of Malesina. Round its the seaside road taverns, restaurants, shops, cafes, hotels and night clubs are built.
In the village itself there are not many houses, as most of them belong to the settlement, which is spraed on the hills around the village.


Why bother writting about Theologos ( a place the vast majority of the  readers of this lens have never heard before?)
REASON 1: because it is not as known as we want it to be
REASON 2: because my family ownes a house there, which means I've spent at Theologos lots of time
REASON 3: beacause it is a typical example of how's life in Greek province.

I keep reading this "thing" - curiosity killed, the cat - and cannot figure out what the  photo has to do with all you have descibed above about Theologos?
Do not worry, I'll explain below- But let me, first of all, narrate the history of the place.

Does this place, actually, have a history?
As every other village in this world, Theologos has its own history. To my knowledge, the settlement, which has helped the local economy "blossom", was created in the mid 60s.
It was then when the junta (dictatorial government of Greece from 1967-1974), has decided to reward its "loyal children" ( those in the army) by offering free land. The hills of Theologos, on which a lovely pine forest can be found, had been bought by the state, divided into equal pieces of land and given to those who served Mother Greece.
These people, beeing mainly Athens inhabitants, have thanks to the "generous junta" become land propriators. Logically this land was distined to host their cottages.

From the latter answer one can assume, why Theologos, has become a summer resort. You can also understand how greek goverments try (and tragically their methods have not evolved much ever since) to freshen the deserted coutryside of Greece.

I ve gone through all the Theologos history stuff - is there anything left to know?
Of course, this was just the start! I' ll start naratting all the interesting stuff now

Well, I feel there cannot be anything interesting connected to this place - I can't even get why I am still reading this stuff !*&!!%
Ok, I won't keep you, readers of this lens, waiting any longer. Theologos has become today a place that for almost 2 months a year (July and August) is full of life. Actually it full of extraordinary situations and orgies!!

What s the composition on Theologos' population during its "high season"?
45% Athenian "vacationers"
45% locals from Malesina
10% other tacky elements

So are all these "tribes" disrupting the otherwise calm, provincial life of Theologos?
Excactly! I 'll do my best to describe the situation - but you have to see it yourself to beleive it...
 

More questions and answers are coming soon!

Live Your Myth in Theologos Greece

My cousin, Marialena , a fanatic lover of Theologos, on Pethamenos Beach ( Dead Man's Beach). Picture taken in August 2006.
Pethamenos Beach, is not one of the three beaches belonging to the Stratigoi (Generals) complex of beaches. It is no more than a 25m long shore, covered with pebbles and sand. The waters, which are clystar clean, go literally "in and out", due to the tide of the Gulf of Evia ( the opposite island / 2nd largest island of Greece). As one steps into the waters of Petamenos beach, has to flight with his feet against sharp rocks and seaweed; but after you have crossed the first 7 meters, you will be rewarded for your courage with a basin covered with golden sand!

Quotations on Theologos 

Famous quotes on Theologos Resort, Greece:

"Theologos is like a nuclear reactor;
the longer one stays there, the more chances he and his children have to get fully distorted!"

Theologos Personalities 

Christos Christos Christos Christos Christos Christos Christos Christos

CHRISTOS

If you happen to visit Theologos, it's almost ceratin you will bump into Christos. Either at the souvlatzidika or Crepomania, at Prive Club or at lying at a bench after 4-5 glasses of b-quality sambuca...but even when drunk Christos, is always willing to massage any lady!

Theologos Personalities 

Marialena Marialena Marialena Marialena Marialena Marialena

MARIALENA

Rumor has its that Marialena is a mascot of the Theologos Sin City
and it is not the only rumor that gets around...
Most probably you will find her at a night club (Prive, Tango) until 3-4 am , afterwards she'll be dancing at Next Club and making men treating her shots.
If you are at Theologos you will definitely notice her, either due to ther long, very looong, impressive legs, or due to the shiny smile she has while she performs her special chick(en)-dance!

Theologos Personalities 

PANOS PANOS PANOS PANOS PANOS PANOS PANOS PANOS

PANOS

Panos seems to have played an important role to the creation and evolution of most Theologos personalities. His charm has seduced Christina, which has been one of the women of his life, and due to that he got to know the Theologos party animal, Marialena. He has always helped to keep the balance between all the strange personalities, but in case he gets angry, you don't want to be there. Apart from shouting out loud and swearing, Panos may start kicking things, punching with his bare hand a wall or even hitting his head towards a wall! You see, he is such a good guy, that prefers to hurt himself rather than someone else...does this make him slightly paranoic?
No matter what the answer to that is, he is definitelly one of the most important Theologos Personalities!

NOTE
Be there, when he decides to dance th Notis Sfakianakis zeibeiko, "Ta Genethlia"

Theologos Personalities 

Thomas Thomas Thomas Thomas Thomas Thomas Thomas Thomas

THOMAS

Thomas has over the years recruited dozen's of people to the Theologos fun club, like Batsos (Cop).He keeps one inviting people to Theologos Resort, as if he has been put in charge of promotion and advertisement of that place!
But apart from that one has to mention that usually Thomas, after consuming a big amount of souvlakia, spends his summer nights at Prive Club, drinking and dancing! There were times when Thomas left Prive Club to go and have a souvlaki and then came back. The reason is more than obvious...you never drink anything they reserve you at Theologos without having filled your stomach with a reasonable amount of fat, coz otherwise you will find yourself at a hospital due to the low quality alcohl drinks

Theologos Personalities 

Mihalis Stefanos Antonio Bruce Mihalis Stefanos Mihalis Stefanos Antonio Bruce Mihalis

MIHALIS - STEFANOS

Mihalis & Stefanos are honorary members of the Theologos personalities category, as they are not permanent Theologos vacationers. More or less they owe their presence in this lens to women who have dragged them to the unique Theologos summer resort.
They caused great sensation during their short stay in summer 2006 in Theologos, as people confused them with Antonio Banderas (Mihalis) & Bruce Willis (Stefanos)...

IMPORTANT NOTE
Mihalis not only resembels to Antonio Banderas but also smells like him ...he is always wearing Diavolo

whoever else decides to bribe me, will get such a lense praising him/her

Theologos Personalities 

Panagiotis Panagiotis Panagiotis Panagiotis Panagiotis Panagiotis

PANAGIOTIS

Panagiotis is the one pointed in by the arrows in the picture.
He was in Theologos way before the other Theologos Personalities got to know what Theologos resort is.
Maybe this makes him also a honorary member of Theologos Personalities category, like the ones mentioned above.
And as you can see by the pic...he was the one who managed to make the wild Marialena calm down- a bit!

Theologos Personalities 

Dimitris Dimitris Dimitris Dimitris Dimitris Dimitris Dimitris Dimitris

DIMITRIS

Dimitris is my brother and although he's much younger than all the rest, he deserves to be in Theologos Personalities group.
First of all, he was the one to indruce us to the "seaweed-throughing" game.
Secondly Mitsos is has managed all these years to break, at least once, everyone's nerves.

NOTE
After been threatened, i had to post this picture of Dimitris, as is one that depicts fully his beauty!

Theologos Personalities 

Angeliki Angeliki Angeliki Angeliki Angeliki Angeliki Angeliki Angeliki

ANGELIKI

Finally another lady has been added to the Theologos Personalities group.
And she derserves been a member, as Angeliki has written her own history at Theologos.
Had Theologos been Ithaca and its history the Odessy, then Angeliki would have definitely been Penelope.
Despite the many fiances that want her heart & body,
she always remains loyal to the conqueror of her heart, Mihalis
At the photo you will see her surounded by men.

NOTE
She is the one that stole also Ioakeem's (see Tacky Element II) heart...

Theologos Personalities 

Batsos Batsos Batsos Batsos Batsos Batsos Batsos Batsos Batsos

BATSOS

In case you don't speak Greek, let me explain that Batsos isn't a name, but means Cop. Actually this personality of Theologos, has a name, Dimitris, but everyone is used to calling him Batsos. Batsos is actually a policeman, though he is not that fond of neither that nor his nickname. Anyway...
He doesn't have a house at Theologos, but for the past few years he spends his summer vacation there. Staying either at Panos' or Thomas' houses or at a hotel. When you meet him, everything on him will make an impression on you...the way he enters Prive Club, the way he approaches women, his yellow (!) two-seaater Mercedes or the fact that he never gets drunk.

At the photo he is the one showing us his tougne next to Christos

Theologos Personalities 

Evalexandro Eva Evalexandro Eva Evalexandro Eva Evalexandro Eva

EVA

A pretty young lady, sister of Christos, which is not the only reason she is in these category of Theologos Personalities. You will find her in all nightclubs of Theologos - unless she has to study-, but you rarely see her on one of the resort's beaches.
In case you are wondering, who's the guy in the picture with her, the answer is easy;
her boyfriend, Alekos
They met wherelse...in Theologos and for the past few months you see them all the time together - whether that's good or bad, i can't tell...time will show!

NOTE
In the pic they look like Siamese twins - they are not, but act as if they are!

special thanks to thomas for his photos

drinking is allowed also anywhere any time! You can find at Theologos resort teens emptying cans of beer in the middle of the street by the play ground, youngsters consuming all kind of b quality drinks at the nightclubs, vacationeers in their 50's drinking local wine at the seaside tavernas.

***TiPs***
-- local wine of Theologos is not like the fine quality wines produced in other places of Greece ( Nemea, Crete, Santorini) , it reminds more of vinegar
-- shots 100% pure alcoohl

Theologos Tacky Elements

TACKY ELEMENT I
On my god!

(I am reffering to the guy - not the pretty lady!) I cannot recall his name, but I can for sure - stop staring at Ageliki's boobs, look at him for god's sake!
As I was saying, I can for sure remember how impressively stupid he was.
They call him the Chinise man of Theologos. He is constantly drunk and hitting on every female around him ( obviously with no possivite result).
So grossy is he that he become's amouzing...

Q&A
what makes him one of the Tacky Elements?

He is the protagonist of one of the most surrealistic scenes ever:
5am
at the almost empty Prive Club of Theologos,
he stands up
on the couch
and screams:
O theos ine Mavros!*

* God is Black!

Hobby: beeing in love
Characteristics: desperate,hopeless, childish
Success: no
He is also known as: Avraam, Isaak and other Jewish names...

Q&A
what makes him one of the Tacky Elements?

Travelling 150km with KTEL just to see for 4 hours a lady, talk to her for less than 10 minutes and spend his whole salary at Prive Club for her.

How to get to Theologos 

Athens-Theologos Theologos-Athens

Athens-Theologos
If you have your own car, you should just ride it, head to the Athen-Lamia highway and after about one and a half hour a big blue sign with yellow capital letters, on which THEOLOGOS is inscribed, will appear... turn right and you are just a few kilometers away from this fantastic summer resort.

In case you do not have a car, and none of your friends, relatives, acquaintances or enemies, has a car,
you'll need 11 Euros ( are you a student? then just 7.5 Euros for you) and the courage to go to the KTEL bus station at Liossion Avenue (in Athens).

Q&A
What is KTEL?
The least trustworthy means of transport existing in Greece!

Theologos-Athens
If you are in Theologos and want to return to Athens, go to the FOURNOS PAPPOU (pappou bakery). It is only there where you can issue a handwritten (by the baker's hands) KTEL ticket to Athens. Buy a croissant sabon-tyri and a bottle of Olympos chocolate milk ( Mihalis' favourite breakfast) and wait with patience outside the bakery...the bus will come, no matter what the dalay will be...!

1rst Traveler's Review

Theologos:
it's not a normal place, it's a town of sinners. It's the place that the most incredible and surrealistic things could happen. The characters and the situations of this place are almost unnaturally true that you think that they came out of the mind of a pathetic psycho writer. Christos, the person with an unknown brain-system logic, it's the example of that fact. The way that he manages the situations of Theologos provokes even more complicated and weird ones. But Christos is not the only person that is like that. Marialena, one of the most important symbols of Theologos. You could call her a Nymph of Theologos, because she is the spirit of night, happiness and vitality of this strange place. A curious visitor can find her (mainly at night time) in a party full of people or, if he is lucky, he can find her at the famous Dead man's beach.
The mythological personalities of Thelogos are too many and there are various, strange connections between them. I don't have much space so I'll mention some more. Michalis and Aggeliki, very similar to Odysseus and Penelope, the hero that's trying to protect the reputation of his girl. Stefanos, like a hairy Satyr, pursuits his beautiful and joyful Nymph Isabella.
The only way to discover this magical place, is to visit it, if you dare of course!

Special thanks to Stefanos for initiating this category, and for his useful review and photo.
