What's On
3rd Youth Theatre Festival
Following on from the 2nd Teenage Theatre Festival in the spring of 2012, Grasshopper and the Onassis Cultural Centre bring renewed enthusiasm and inspiration to the staging of the 3rd Teenage Theatre Festival. Over three days, theatre groups from secondary schools, lycées and municipalities will perform work that has developed out of their intense engagement with theatre professionals: playwrights, directors, actors and dramatists.Our goal is a high-quality Greek theatre for teenagers—but not only—which puts the creativity, imagination and talent of the upcoming generation to full use through our interactions with them.
Athens World Music Festival
Technopolis City of Athens proudly announces that for the 2nd consecutive year it is organizing the «Athens World Music Festival». This year, the festival has the distinctive thematic title "P.I.I.G.S." since it is dedicated to the rich music tradition of the 5 European countries that were hit the hardest from the recent economic crisis (Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece, Spain).
Athens Technopolis jazz festival
After 12 successful years, the European Technopolis Jazz Festival opens its doors to the rest of the world and becomes the international "Athens Technopolis Jazz Festival", hosting jazz musicians and groups from all over the planet.
From Friday May 31 to Sunday June 2,
ZOO
After the success of the "EVERYTHING RED", MARTINOS antique gallery at Athens, Greece organizes a second thematic exhibition under the title ZOO.
Thirty-five distinguished artists will participate in the exhibition, in which animals will be playing a leading role, with each artist using his own means of expression.
3rd World Jazz Festival
The Astronauts are landing at Keramikos and organizing the 3rd World Jazz Festival. An unconventional way to celebrate Carnival in Athens, and in particular Metaxourgio Carnival, that will last for 3 days (8, 9 and 10 March), the 3rd World Jazz Festival brings together the jazzy atmosphere of New Orleans and the festive spirit of the traditional Macedonian Carnival. Afro-jazz, funk swing, hot jazz, bossa nova, cabaret meet with traditional brass Greek instruments and Balkan jazz.
Twenty years after the first Greek art fair was organized by the Hellenic Art Galleries Association in 1993, Art-Athina remains the most prominent annual artistic event in Greece—the unique International Contemporary Art Fair!
The 9th International Festival of Digital Arts & New Media, "Athens Video Art Festival" is a fact. On June, 7th - 9th exhibitions, screenings, workshops and live acts will be hosted at the Historical Centre of Athens, opening a dialogue between public and private space.
With its undisputable charm, this area is one of the most frequented by visitors and natives alike. Plaka's winding pathways carry thousands of years of history. Walk amongst the buildings whose facades are dressed in 19th century neoclassical design and architecture. Dine at one or several of its restaurants. And explore the ancient monuments, contemporary museums and traditional souvenir shops throughout.
Its befitting that this monument the center of commercial and business life in ancient times would later give rise to the buzzing shopping district that surrounds it today. Of course, Monastiraki does not compare to the milieu of the ancient agora, but it still continues to inspire those who live, work and visit the area.
International jet setters have long chosen to vacation and visit Athens. Today, more than ever, Athens has what it takes to make even the most seasoned luxury traveller feel pampered. Here are some things to seek out:
"This is My Athens" is the continuation of the very popular and successful "This is Athens" campaign. The campaign created the first-ever real-time photostream documenting daily life in Athens.
