SUMMARY:Fun Vibes Family Festival
DESCRIPTION:One of the city’s most beautiful green lungs is being transformed into a massive playground for a day. As part of the This is Athens City Festival\, Rizari Park is hosting an all-day fest dedicated to kids\, families\, and the pure joy of getting active.\n\nThink of it as the ultimate outdoor reset. Through a mix of sports\, games\, and creative activities\, this is a chance for families to bond away from the glow of their screens. Whether you’re competing in team games or trying out new wellness activities\, the focus is on teamwork\, well-being\, and all-around joy.\n\nIt’s the perfect excuse to grab the trainers\, round up the kids\, and head to the park for a day of fresh air and high energy. In a city as bustling as Athens\, this is a rare moment to slow down (or speed up!) and reconnect with nature and each other through play.\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.

SUMMARY:A Three-Star Architectural Crown: The Neoclassical Trilogy of Athens
DESCRIPTION:The University\, the Academy\, and the National Library form the absolute crown jewels of our city’s architecture\, the ultimate Trilogy that defined the look of modern Athens.\n\nBut there’s way more to these marble marvels than just a good photo op. As part of this year’s This is Athens City Festival\, we are hitting the pavement with archaeologist and top-tier guide Michalis Giohalas. Michalis won’t just point at statues; he’s here to spill the secrets\, symbols\, and big ideas hidden behind those famous facades. You’ll discover how 19th-century architects tried to build a “bridge” between the glory of Ancient Greece and the newly formed Greek state. Think of it as a deep dive into Athens’ DNA\, explaining how statues\, towering columns\, and tiny decorative details all played a part in a young nation’s vision.\n\nIt’s history\, but with a pulse. Whether you’re a fresh arrival to the city or a long-term expat who walks past these buildings every day\, this tour will make you see the centre of Athens in a completely new light.\n\nMeeting Point: The Propylaea of the University of Athens (Right outside “Panepistimio” Metro station\, University exit). \n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.
