SUMMARY:Athens Photo World: Michalis Pappas – Mitos\, The Thread of Greece
DESCRIPTION:For the seventh consecutive year\, Athens Photo World returns to the perimeter of the Megaron Athens Concert Hall transforming it into a street gallery\, showing a different and deeply personal perspective on Greek identity. As part of the This is Athens City Festival 2026\, this year’s exhibition features 13 selected photographs from the broader work of Michalis Pappas\, titled “Mitos: The Thread of Greece”.\n\nMoving away from the usual landmarks\, Pappas’s lens focuses instead on traditional costumes worn by contemporary figures\, proving that tradition is not a fossilised relic of the past\, but a living\, evolving process that breathes within our daily lives. It is an evocative connection between yesterday and today\, inviting passers-by to discover the “thread” that links us to our roots right in the heart of the urban fabric.\n\nExhibition duration: 29 May – 31 August

SUMMARY:Yoga Sessions
DESCRIPTION:Rizari Park is transforming into the quietest\, yet most radiant\, spot in the city. Think of it as a lush green sanctuary right in the heart of Athens\, where time seems to slow down and the city’s daily hum just fades away behind the trees.\n\nAs part of the This is Athens City Festival\, our Yoga Sessions are back\, inviting you to roll out your mat on the grass and get in sync with your body and breath. Practising under the shade of the trees with the open sky above is a total game-changer\, it’s a chance to reconnect with yourself and the city in a whole new way.\n\nWe’ve got some fantastic instructors on hand to guide everyone from total beginners to seasoned yogis through a harmonious flow focused on balance\, focus\, and finding that inner alignment. Every inhale brings a fresh burst of energy\, and every exhale lets go of the day’s tension.\n\nIt’s that lovely moment when Athens reveals its serene side—a gentle reminder that wellbeing isn’t a luxury\, it’s a rhythm we can all find together.\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.
