SUMMARY:Historical Walk: "Sabotage and Street Protest in Occupied Athens"
DESCRIPTION: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.\nThis 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.\n\nUncover 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.\n\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.

SUMMARY:Fairytales with the Sousourades
DESCRIPTION:Red thread tied\, wrapped around a doll. A doll that gave birth to many more. Another that travelled far enough to reach the king’s nose. And yet another that spins red threads out of nothing\, winding them onto a spindle and setting it in motion… for the story to begin. \n\nA musical storytelling performance dedicated to dolls that came to life and embarked on wondrous journeys. The Sousourades travel alongside them through the words of magical tales\, into a land where even a doll can speak with a human voice and wander across the world.\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.\nMichalis 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.

Starting early in the morning\, the city’s top radio producers will be spinning the perfect tracks to keep the energy high. Little ones can dive into a world of imagination through creative workshops\, musical theatre\, and interactive games throughout the park. As the sun begins to set\, the mood gets even more magical with open-air screenings and that lovely “summer is coming” breeze.\n\nIt’s an experience that truly has it all: music\, art\, relaxation\, and the best company in town. So\, grab your mat\, pack your hamper\, put on your brightest smile\, and help us kick off the This is Athens City Festival 2026. After all\, spring in Athens is meant to be shared.

SUMMARY:Cool Crips: Redefining Disability
DESCRIPTION:Athinas Street transforms into a space for reflection and contemplation. A hands-on workshop that confronts us with the real issues of disability and exclusion.\n\nThrough a specially designed course\, participants “experience” exclusion and come to realise that the barriers are not within the body\, but in the environment around us. As we move through the corridor\, our everyday lives change momentarily: we struggle\, adapt\, and perceive reality – both our own and that of others – with new eyes. We envision a city that embraces everyone\, everything\, and all walks of life.\n\nA questionnaire at the beginning and end of the experience provides unexpected answers to tough questions.
