SUMMARY:Connect Athens: All Day Street Festival
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with the Connect Athens Festival\, we are hosting a day-long celebration along the Fokionos Negri pedestrian way.\n\nFollowing the “Building Bridges for the Mental Health of At-Risk Youth” event on 22 May\, Connect Athens moves its message from the discussion panels to the heart of the city.

SUMMARY:The Gift That Remained Unopened!
DESCRIPTION:A secret parcel\, hidden among the centuries-old thickets of the National Garden\, awaits its first explorers. For the Athens City Festival 2026\, the B. & M. Theocharakis Foundation invites young citizens to an unconventional adventure blurring the lines between detective work and fine art. Armed with magnifying glasses and “scientific” gloves\, children will track the artistic footprints of the legendary Stephen Antonakos.\n\nDrawing inspiration from the artist’s iconic “Travel Collages” and “Packages”\, participants dive into the world of conceptual art through immersive role-playing and team missions. They will discover how a simple journey transforms into a collage and how a sealed package can contain entire universes\, eventually crafting their own original masterpieces using organic materials gathered directly from the Garden’s ecosystem.\n\nFor 50 years\, this mysterious “gift” has sat patiently in the heart of the city’s most iconic green space. By turning Antonakos’ legacy of sealed artworks into a living\, breathing mystery\, this event offers a rare\, hands-on exploration of the intersection between art and the environment.\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.

SUMMARY:First Cemetery of Athens: An Open-Air Sculpture Gallery II
DESCRIPTION:While Halepas’s “Sleeping Maiden” is undoubtedly the most iconic sculpture in Athens’ First Cemetery\, the beauty of this open-air museum goes far beyond its famous headline acts.\n\nAs part of the This is Athens City Festival 2026\, archaeologist and guide Michalis Giohalas invites us to step off the main path. We’ll be heading up the winding\, uphill trails to discover a lesser-known but equally breathtaking side of Modern Greek sculpture. Far from the usual tourist spots\, you’ll encounter imposing mausoleums and monuments where a grand passion for legacy meets a crushing\, powerful silence.\n\nIn this unique space\, the mortal world seems to hold a quiet conversation with the immortal. This tour shines a light on hidden masterpieces and the moving human stories behind them\, offering a deeply personal look at the artistic and historical heritage of Athens.\n\nMeeting Point: Main Entrance of the First Cemetery of Athens (at the end of Anapafseos Street).\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.\n\n

SUMMARY:Yoga Sessions
DESCRIPTION:Rizari Park is transforming into the quietest\, yet most radiant\, spot in the city.

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.

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.\n\n

SUMMARY:Street Outdoors 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Street Outdoors crew\, the team behind some of the most influential open-air parties of the last decade\, reclaim Eleftherias Park as the ultimate meeting point for the city’s vibrant\, extroverted soul. Stripping away the “closed club” mentality\, the music here breathes freely under the trees\, in a setting that perfectly fuses raw urban energy with wide-open spaces.\n\nWith a sound that balances the latest electronic trends with the classic spirit of a true block party\, Street Outdoors crafts an experience that starts laid-back and gradually surges into a massive celebration. Dance\, connection\, and a shared sense of “togetherness” are at the heart of the night\, an afternoon and evening that proves how naturally the city can transform through rhythm. It’s more proof that Athens beats strongest when it steps outside.

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.

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.

SUMMARY:First Cemetery of Athens: An Open-Air Sculpture Gallery II
DESCRIPTION:While Halepas’s “Sleeping Maiden” is undoubtedly the most iconic sculpture in Athens’ First Cemetery\, the beauty of this open-air museum goes far beyond its famous headline acts.\n\nAs part of the This is Athens City Festival 2026\, archaeologist and guide Michalis Giohalas invites us to step off the main path. We’ll be heading up the winding\, uphill trails to discover a lesser-known but equally breathtaking side of Modern Greek sculpture. Far from the usual tourist spots\, you’ll encounter imposing mausoleums and monuments where a grand passion for legacy meets a crushing\, powerful silence.\n\nIn this unique space\, the mortal world seems to hold a quiet conversation with the immortal. This tour shines a light on hidden masterpieces and the moving human stories behind them\, offering a deeply personal look at the artistic and historical heritage of Athens.\n\nMeeting Point: Main Entrance of the First Cemetery of Athens (at the end of Anapafseos Street).\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.\n\n
