SUMMARY:Fairytales with Babis Bourekas
DESCRIPTION:Once Upon a Time\, Animals Could Speak… \n\nThere was once a time when animals had their own voice and wrote their own stories! Through folk tales and myths from Greece and around the world\, heroes with fur and whiskers\, scales\, beaks and wings come to life and draw us into their fascinating world. Join us to listen to their secrets and share in their wisdom. Children and adults become one group\, singing\, solving riddles\, and rediscovering nature through words and imagination. A joyful experience full of humour and lessons\, reminding us that\, in the end\, we have much to learn from our animal friends! \n\nMusic–Song: Leda Xydia (kanun)\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.

SUMMARY:Innersense pres. LTJ Bukem LIVE & Junior SP
DESCRIPTION:This is definitely a headline moment for this year’s This is Athens City Festival. Because when legendary LTJ Bukem steps behind the decks\, other DJs listen. This is the man who added layers of cinematic\, “intelligent” soul to D&B\, proving that 170 BPM could be as atmospheric as a late-night jazz session. This massive billing brings Bukem’s trailiblazing blend and precision to a city ready to vibrate.\nExpect a masterclass in sonic world-building: lightning-fast breakbeats anchored by ambient textures and a spiritual freedom that only a true pioneer can command. This isn’t just a night for the dancefloor; it’s a full-body immersion into the sophisticated side of rave culture. It’s about feeling the sub-bass in your chest while your head stays firmly in the clouds.\n\nJoining the icon is Junior SP.\, a cornerstone of the Greek urban scene since ’92. As the driving force behind Innersense Productions\, he’s spent three decades shaping the country’s bass DNA. Having shared stages with everyone from The Prodigy to Wu-Tang Clan\, his set promises the kind of raw authenticity and veteran energy that only a true architect of the local scene can deliver.

SUMMARY:Fairytales with Babis Bourekas
DESCRIPTION:Do heroes get scared?\n\nFolk tales from Greece and around the world become a precious guide for both children and adults. Through the wisdom of peoples\, our heroes learn to overcome their fears\, stand up for what is right\, and confront the powerful—and win! As the old saying goes: it takes not effort\, but cleverness. Fortune favours the brave\, and humour can unlock even the hardest of hearts.\n\nIn an age filled with passive images\, live storytelling and music work differently: they activate the imagination and invite us all to become one big\, engaged community. Join us to discover how intelligence and determination can achieve anything!\n\nMusic: Leda Xydia\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.

SUMMARY:Feidiou Street Takeover
DESCRIPTION:Feidiou Street transforms once again into one of the most vibrant and unpredictable destinations in Athens as part of the This is Athens City Festival. “Don’t Be a Dick” joins forces with Mousiko Kafeneio and Frau for an authentic street party that kicks off at 18:00\, promising to keep the energy high until late into the night.\n\nThe musical journey begins with a hybrid set from Harris Kousos and Angelos Aggelou\, wedding electronic sounds with live instruments. Berlin’s Hara Katsiki takes over next with a nostalgic trip through Italo and space disco rhythms. As the night unfolds\, the action spills into dedicated stages.\n\nOn the “Don’t Be a Dick” main stage\, Bill Selfer and Alex Deris appear\, while in the well-known and beloved “toilet room\,” Luka from Berlin promises an explosive set to raise the intensity. At Mousiko Kafeneio\, Roubini Stagouraki presents a special programme bridging the Greek and international scenes\, while at Frau\, Enke F completes the line-up with his own distinct sound.\n\nWith the motto “Come early and stay late\,” Feidiou invites us to get lost in a multi-dimensional experience that unites music and communities in one of the centre’s most beautiful narrow lanes.

SUMMARY:Historical Walk Around the National Archaeological Museum
DESCRIPTION:The National Archaeological Museum invites the public to a fascinating evening walk led by archaeologist Dr. Kostas Paschalidis. This guided tour unfolds as a concise chronicle of the modern Greek state\, told through the history of a small yet emblematic site in the very heart of Athens.\n\nThe route begins in the days when the Museum’s grounds were nothing more than a vineyard\, continues through the period when the area served as a club for Bavarian soldiers\, and reaches the construction of what would become the largest museum of the ancient world.\n\nParticipants will discover the adventures of an entire nation through the stories surrounding the building itself: from the dramatic concealment of antiquities on the eve of World War II and the Museum’s role in the Greek Resistance\, to the events of the Polytechnic uprising. A walk that reveals the Museum not only as a repository of ancient treasures\, but also as a living witness to modern Greek history and the social transformations that shaped contemporary Athens.\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.

SUMMARY:A Walk through Rizokastro & Anafiotika
DESCRIPTION:Rizokastro and Anafiotika\, two of the most enchanting and singular corners of Athens\, become the backdrop for a journey that weaves together history\, memory\, and the inexhaustible charm of Plaka. Archaeologist and guide Michalis Giohalas invites us on a route that goes far beyond a typical tour; it is a quest for Athenian identity where the layers of time remain vividly visible.\n\nGuided by surviving monuments\, the ghosts of lost buildings\, and the hidden details we usually overlook\, this walk attempts to reconstruct a different Athens\, but certainly not a lost one. Even those who believe they know Plaka inside out will have the chance to see it through a fresh lens where myth\, legend\, and topography collide. It is an experience that bridges academic insight with the evocative\, nostalgic power of our capital’s most authentic neighbourhood.\n\nMeeting Point: Acropolis Metro Station\, Makriyianni exit. \n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.

SUMMARY:From Lecture Halls to the Streets: Landmarks of Student Movements in Athens
DESCRIPTION:This distinctive walking tour invites you to discover Athens through the lens of its student movements. The city is defined not just by its architecture\, but by the radical demands born within those walls that spilled out into the streets\, shaping modern Greek democracy.\n\nFrom the historic University building on Panepistimiou Street to the Polytechnic on Patision Street\, we’ll explore the squares and meeting spots that became hubs of protest and dialogue. These landmarks are tied to collective memory and the unstoppable momentum of youth.\n\nThe tour presents Athens as a living space of political and social exchange\, bridging the gap between university lecture halls and the dynamic energy of the public sphere.\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.

DESCRIPTION:In one of Athens’ most atmospheric spots\, the Dora Stratou Theater\, where history intersects with contemporary dance music\, Deer Islnd promises a night fueled by rhythm and the authentic vibe of a close-knit crew. Prepare to be swept away by a musical experience that dissolves the borders between sunset beats and the deep down city\, all under the shadow of the Acropolis.\n\nDeer Islnd was born from a group of friends who met on an island\, shared a deep passion for electronic music\, and decided to bring that coastal energy back to the capital. Years later\, they’ve left an indelible mark on the Athenian club scene\, counting one successful event after another.\n\nWith the legendary VW van as their emblem\, rather than a deer\, as many mistakenly assume\, the team takes over the Dora Stratou Theater\, adding another epic milestone to their party map.

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.

SUMMARY:Fairytales with Naya Oikonomopoulou
DESCRIPTION:Recycling through stories (followed by a painting workshop using brown recycling bins!) \n\nThe Stone Soup: When three hungry and poor travellers arrive in a village\, they go from door to door asking for a little food\, but no one gives them anything. Everyone is shut inside their homes and unwilling to share anything with others. So\, in order to satisfy their hunger\, they begin to prepare what will become the most delicious stone soup in the world. In the end\, all the villagers contribute to the recipe with whatever they have—things that “on their own cannot become anything” and would otherwise go to waste. What certainly does not go to waste is joy and open-heartedness. \n\nMusic: Maria Georgopoulou\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.

Whether it’s the sun-drenched vibes of “Sun” or the massive\, heart-swelling anthem “Can’t Do Without You\,” a Caribou set is a masterclass in sonic warmth.\n\nPrepare to lose yourself in the musical brilliance of a visionary who knows exactly how to make an entire square pulse as one.
