Diseases of the colon and rectum in children such as anorectal malformations, Hirschsprung’s disease, inflammatory bowel disease, idiopathic constipation and fecal incontinence present a special chal- lenge to pediatric surgeons. Many of these diseases have a major impact on quality of life and warrant long-term follow-up and treatment into adulthood. In order to provide the best medical and surgical care to children with colorectal diseases, it is essential that we have the highest possible standards of education, training and research. The 28th International Meeting of the Pediatric Colorectal Club aims to provide up-to-date clinical and scientific information on all aspects of pediatric colorectal diseases and malformations to practicing pediatric surgeons, pediatric urologists, pediatricians, pediatric gas- troenterologists, basic scientists, nurses and patient support groups. Athens is one of the most popular destinations in Europe, consistently featuring in all of the top ten most visited cities. Athens is also one of the world’s oldest cities, steeped in history and tradition, with numerous sightseeing treasures and excellent international transport links. The rich Greek heritage and its contemporary multicultural cosmopolitanism constitute Athens’ unique charm and character. The city’s myriad cultural offerings, archaeological sites, huge variety of attractions, a superb venue di- rectly located in the historic center and Greece’s undoubted appeals make Athens an ideal location for the 28th International Meeting of the Pediatric Colorectal Club. We hope that many of you will be able to stay longer and participate in the 22nd European Congress of Pediatric Surgery, which will also take place at the Zappeion Megaron in Athens from 1st to 4th Septem- ber 2021.

The Zappeion Exhibition Hall has witnessed the history ATTIKOS GREEK HOUSE of Athens for the past 120 years. It has been a key site Sunday, 29th August 2021, 20:30 for some of the nation's most significant moments, like Greece’s accession to the European Economic Commu- nity in May 29, 1979.

In the 5th Century BC (the “Golden Age of Pericles”) – the culmination of Athens’ long, fascinating history – the city’s values and civilization acquired a universal significance. Over the years, a multitude of conquerors occupied Athens, and erected unique, splendid monuments - a rare historical palimpsest. In 1834, it became the capital of the modern Greek state and in two centuries since it has become an attractive modern metropolis with unrivalled charm. The “core” of the historic centre is the Plaka neighborhood (at the eastern side of the Acropolis), which has been inhabit- ed without interruption since antiquity. When you walk through the narrow labyrinthine streets lined with houses and mansions from the time of the Turkish occupation and the Neoclassical period (19th c.), you will have the impression of travelling with a “time machine”. 8 WORTH TO VISIT • THE ACROPOLIS MUSEUM The Museum hosts its collections across three levels, as well as in the archaeological excavation that lies at its
