SUMMARY:Guided Tour: Nikolas Klironomos Retrospective "1985–2025"

SUMMARY:Guided Tour at the National Historical Museum
DESCRIPTION:Step inside the grand\, stately building with the bronze statue of Kolokotronis on horseback out front. It’s nothing less than the Old Parliament House\, the very heart of Greece’s early political acts\, and it is throwing open its doors for the This is Athens City Festival.\n\nThis isn’t just a wander through a dusty museum; it’s a guided journey through the National Historical Museum. You’ll be stepping into the original debating chamber where the big decisions that shaped modern Greece were hammered out. It’s an atmospheric spot that keeps history grounded in the centre of the city. Our guide will lead you through a stunning collection that charts the Greek story from the fall of Constantinople through to the 20th century. You’ll see personal heirlooms and everyday objects from the Greek Revolution\, intricate traditional costumes that are basically 19th-century high fashion\, historic weaponry\, and archival treasures that tell the story of a nation finding its feet.\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.

SUMMARY:A Historical Walk with Dr. Iordanis Papadopoulos: Kypriadou
DESCRIPTION:On the fringes of Patisia\, where the urban density gives way to a different architectural rhythm and a quieter Athenian breath\, the City of Athens Festival invites us to discover the Kypriadou district. Guided by Dr. Iordanis Papadopoulos\, this walk unravels the history of a model neighbourhood\, Athens’ original “garden city” that set the blueprint for suburban areas like Psychiko and Nea Smyrni.\n\nAs we wander past grand villas\, hidden ateliers\, and streets that preserve the imprint of a different era\, we’ll trace the footsteps of the so-called “Kypriadis School\,” as the great artist Yannis Moralis once named it. From the architectural vision of Aristotelis Zachos to the homes of legends like Parthenis\, Kontoglou\, Pikionis\, and Argyros\, this neighbourhood emerges as a living canvas of the famed ’30s Generation and the Athenian intelligentsia. This tour connects modernism\, memory\, and everyday life\, illuminating a side of the city that remains charming\, unexpected\, and deeply Athenian.\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.

SUMMARY:First Cemetery of Athens: An Open-Air Gallery 2
DESCRIPTION:Yannoulis Chalepas’ “Sleeping Maiden” is\, without a doubt\, the most iconic sculpture of the First Cemetery of Athens\, but the beauty of this open-air museum goes far beyond its famous resident.\nAs part of the City of Athens Festival 2026\, archaeologist and certified guide Michalis Giohalas invites us to step off the main path and follow an alternative route through the climbing alleys of the cemetery. Beyond the well-trodden spots\, we will discover a lesser-known yet equally staggering side of Modern Greek sculpture. Here\, imposing mausoleums and monuments stand where the grand passion for legacy meets a crushing silence—a space where the mortal seems to converse with the immortal. This guided tour illuminates unknown masterpieces and human stories\, offering a deeply immersive look into the artistic and historical heritage of Athens.\n\nMeeting Point: Main Entrance of the First Cemetery of Athens (end of Anapafseos Street).\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.
