Louis Kontoulis, guitarist/vocalist of the (possibly) first Greek punk band Stress, captured here as a 16-year-old back in 1979 in the neighbourhood of Plaka, "a wonderful Babel" as he remembers the district under the Acropolis where nightclubs, discos, rock and gay bars were once located, a melting pot that attracted junkies, beggars, prostitutes, tourists and bar-hoppers and acted as a melting pot for the various youth subcultures of the time and as home of the burgeoning Athenian punk scene in the late-‘70s/early-'80s.
