点评:Tuesday 4th August we walked along Lithistroto, the pedestrianised street in the centre of Agrostoli. From there we continued a short distance along Panagia Vallianou up to this Square, Platia Vallianou, the main Square in the Town
The large paved Square has been named in honour of Panagis Vallianos and it is also home to a statue of him, it sits in the top left hand corner under the shade of the trees.
He was born in Kerameies on Kefalonia in 1814 and was a wealthy 19th-century merchant and shipowner.
Around the Square there are a number of impressive buildings including the Ionian Plaza Hotel. The others are home to numerous bars and cafes with their outdoor seating along the pavement. We did actually sit in one of the cafes and watched the world pass by.
The Square is a popular meeting point for tourists and locals alike. It is also a social hub and venue for large events and gatherings.
At the time of our visit there were posters around advertising forthcoming music event, concert in the Square. There were also the remnants of a recent function waiting to be removed.
翻译:8月4日星期二,我们沿着阿格罗斯托利市中心的步行街——Lithistroto漫步。随后我们又沿着Panagia Vallianou街走了一小段路,便来到了镇上的主广场:Vallianou广场。
这个宽敞的铺砌广场是以帕纳吉斯·瓦利亚诺斯的名字命名的,广场上还立有他的雕像。雕像位于广场左上角,在树木的荫凉之下。他于1814年出生于凯法利尼亚岛的凯拉梅伊斯,是19世纪一位富有的商人兼船主。
广场周围有许多令人印象深刻的建筑,其中包括爱奥尼亚广场酒店。其他建筑里则开设了众多酒吧和咖啡馆,人行道上还设有露天座位区。我们确实曾在其中一家咖啡馆里坐下来,看着来来往往的人群。
这个广场是游客与当地人都喜爱的聚会场所,也是社交中心以及举办大型活动与集会的理想地点。我们访问时,周围到处都是宣传即将举行的音乐活动——“广场音乐会”的海报。还有一些刚举办完的活动遗留物,正等着被清理掉。
