About this audio guide
This guide to the OTE Tower in Thessaloniki follows the country's first telecommunication tower, from a stump of a pavilion at the nineteen sixty-nine International Fair to the summer rush that finished it in nineteen seventy. It touches architect Alexandros Anastasiadis, the Rohr company's turning observation floor, and the first black-and-white broadcasts of Greek state television. Best heard at the foot of the tower by the fair's south gate, looking up at the fourth floor.
