VENUE

Athens Trilogy

Renowned historian Menelaos Charalampidis leads an immersive journey through the heart of the occupied city, tracing the footsteps of one of the most dynamic resistance movements in Europe.
This isn't just a history lesson; it’s a vivid reclamation of the city's soul. As you walk, the routes of protesters, strikers, and saboteurs who defied the Axis occupation come to life. From the first major student mobilisation on 25 March 1942 to the bloody clashes on Panepistimiou Street in July 1943, every stop acts as a "window" into a city that refused to stay silent.

Uncover the "hidden geography" of the resistance, from the daring sabotage at the ESPO offices to the heroic strikes at the Telephone Company and the Ministry of Labour. This is a visceral experience that invites you to see the streets you cross every day through a fresh lens, discovering the dense mosaic of courage that defines the Athenian spirit.
