SUMMARY:A Tour of Rizokastro and the Anafiotika Area
DESCRIPTION:This activity is only available in Greek. \n\nArchaeologist Michalis Giohalas\, in collaboration with the This is Athens City Festival\, leads a walking tour through Anafiotika and its layered history. Rizokastro—the area nestled at the root of the Sacred Rock—and Anafiotika are among the most historic quarters of Athens. Using surviving monuments and buildings\, remnants of lost structures\, and even the street names as our guide\, we’ll attempt to piece together the memory and image of a city that feels both different and not entirely lost. This journey will tune in to the lingering echoes of beliefs\, myths and legends tied to ancient places that still endure in the present day.\n\nA reservation is required.

SUMMARY:Guided tour at the EMST in the exhibition: WOMEN TOGETHER
DESCRIPTION:This activity is only available in Greek. \n\nThe exhibition “WOMEN\, TOGETHER” features works exclusively by women artists and takes a clear stance on a critical issue in both art history and contemporary society: the underrepresentation of women and the urgent need for action towards gender equality. While most of the works do not focus explicitly on womanhood\, they raise pressing questions around equality\, oppression and otherness. They engage with contemporary and historical sociopolitical narratives\, as well as aspects of personal and collective memory and identity.

SUMMARY:First Cemetery of Athens: An Open-Air Sculpture Gallery II
DESCRIPTION:This activity is only available in Greek.\n\nArchaeologist and guide Michalis Giohalas leads a special tour through the sculpture garden of the First Cemetery of Athens\, in collaboration with the This is Athens City Festival.\n\nBeyond the “Sleeping Female Figure”\nThe memorial of Sofia Afentaki—widely known as the “Sleeping Female Figure” by Yannoulis Chalepas—is perhaps the most iconic sculpture in the cemetery. But it is far from the only one of artistic significance.\n\nThis alternative route leads visitors off the main thoroughfares and into quieter paths that reveal a lesser-known\, yet equally remarkable\, side of Athens’ open-air sculpture garden. Along the uphill lanes\, we encounter mausoleums of celebrated dead\, where mortals meet immortals—and grand aspirations for remembrance coexist with overwhelming silence.

As we search for the past in the present\, stories of the place and its people unfold. At the same time\, the 3rd Cemetery is reintroduced to the public as a historical site of memory for those who “didn’t live” to see our country free. The tour will be conducted by Zetta Antonopoulou\, Historian-Archaeologist\, and Eliza Neofytou\, Architect-Museologist.

SUMMARY:First Cemetery of Athens: An Open-Air Sculpture Gallery
DESCRIPTION:This activity is only available in Greek.\n\nArchaeologist and guide Michalis Giohalas leads a tour through the sculpture garden of the First Cemetery of Athens\, in collaboration with the This is Athens City Festival.\n\nDescribed in the early 20th century by sculptor Thomas Thomopoulos as encompassing “the entire movement of modern sculpture\,” the cemetery stands as an open-air museum where art\, memory and history coexist.\n\nFrom the great names of Greek sculpture to the personal stories behind the graves\, this walk offers a fascinating journey through time. It reveals little-known aspects of funerary art in modern Greece—along with very human tales of vanity\, greed\, artistic rivalries and unfulfilled love.

SUMMARY:Three-Star Architectural Crown: The Neoclassical Trilogy of Athens
DESCRIPTION:This activity is only available in Greek.\n\nArchaeologist and guide Michalis Giohalas leads a tour through the Athenian Trilogy\, in collaboration with the This is Athens City Festival.\n\nComprising the University\, the Academy and the Library\, this neoclassical ensemble—designed by brothers Hans Christian and Theophil Hansen—was hailed by Alexandros Philadelpheus as “the architectural triple crown of our city.” Since its completion\, it has stood as one of Athens’ most iconic landmarks.\n\nAt the heart of the city’s urban fabric\, these buildings weave visual and literary references to ancient history and mythology into the prevailing ideologies of their time—where the recent past engages with antiquity\, reflecting the spirit\, aspirations and ideals of a bygone era.
