SUMMARY:St Dionysius the Areopagite\, The Saint of Athens: Guided Tours of the dedicated Churches I
DESCRIPTION:The This is Athens City Festival invites you to step inside one of the city’s most prestigious landmarks for a tour that’s as much about art history as it is about faith. Guided by art historian Despina Paraskeva\, we’re exploring Agios Dionysios on Skoufa Street\, often called the “Saint of Athens”\, to see what happens when the biggest names in modern Greek art collaborate on one project.\n\nOne of the grandest churches in central Athens\, this landmark represents a true artistic collaboration. Your journey begins with the architectural vision of Anastasios Orlandos\, before moving to the beautiful frescoes by Spyros Vassiliou. It comes with close-ups at the intricate woodcarvings of Theofanis Nomikos and the stunning mosaics born from a rare collaboration between Fotis Kontoglou and Stefanos Xenopoulos. It’s a fascinating glimpse into how ancient tradition and modern artistic flair meet in the heart of Kolonaki.\n\nTo make the experience truly immersive\, the tour is set to the sound of Byzantine chanting\, creating an atmosphere of total tranquility and mystique.\n\nDon’t miss the twin guided tour of the Catholic Cathedral\, a moment that creates an artistic dialogue between two faiths and two distinct expressions of modern Greek creativity\, right in the heart of the urban fabric.\n\nMeeting Point: Entrance of the Holy Church\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.

SUMMARY:A Historical Walk with Dr. Iordanis Papadopoulos: Havteia
DESCRIPTION:The This is Athens City Festival invites you on a fascinating historical stroll through the neighbourhoods that shaped our city’s urban soul. Led by Dr. Iordanis Papadopoulos\, this walk takes us from the bustling corners of Havteia and Omonia down to 3rd September Street\, Patission\, and the leafy Fokionos Negri.\nIt will shape into a journey through an Athens that was constantly reinventing itself through social shifts\, political episodes\, and grand architectural plans. We’ll be connecting the dots between the streets\, the people\, and the events that turned these areas into the backbone of Athenian life.\n\nAs we walk\, Dr. Papadopoulos will spotlight the hidden details from the grand buildings you might usually walk past\, to the historical memories tucked into side streets\, and the “secret” stories that make up the big picture of the city. You’ll see Athens as a living\, breathing landscape where the past is still very much present. If you want to understand not just what Athens was\, but what it carries in its vibrant identity today\, this is the tour for you.\n\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.
