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.\n\nExhibition duration: 29 May – 31 August

SUMMARY:Theatre Battles in Ancient Athens
DESCRIPTION:The This is Athens City Festival invites explorers of all ages to an educational adventure that reimagines ancient Athens through the eyes of two real-life legends. Auteas and Philoxenides\, two “choregoi” (the visionary sponsors of the time) from Aexone\, today’s Glyfada\, are making a symbolic comeback 2\,300 years later to guide us through the thrilling world of theatrical competitions.\n\nWhat exactly was the role of a sponsor back then? How were the city’s massive festivals organised? And why was theatre so much more than just a night out? Taking its cue from a rare honorary decree from 313/2 BC housed in the Epigraphical Museum\, this session is specially designed for families with children aged 7 to 10. Through storytelling\, discovery\, and a hands-on creative workshop\, kids will dive into ancient drama and the city’s public life in a way that’s interactive\, fast-paced\, and fun. It’s a chance to pull the past into the present with imagination\, play\, and a real connection to Athens’ cultural soul.\n\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.

SUMMARY:Athens Disco: TiACF 2026 Closing Party

SUMMARY:Tilda Swinton: Ongoing
DESCRIPTION:Marking its fifth year with a great collaboration with Onassis Stegi\, we offer an encounter with one of the season’s most keenly discussed artistic propositions. At its centre is Tilda Swinton\, a figure who has long moved with deliberate\, almost defiant ease between cinema\, fashion\, and the visual arts\, each appearance less a performance than a considered cultural gesture.\n\nThe exhibition Ongoing\, presented at the recently inaugurated Onassis Ready\, resists the tidy framing of a retrospective. Instead\, it unfolds as an active\, evolving dialogue between Swinton and a close circle of collaborators. Among them Pedro Almodóvar\, Luca Guadagnino\, Jim Jarmusch\, Joanna Hogg\, Tim Walker\, Apichatpong Weerasethakul\, Olivier Saillard\, and Derek Jarman. Through short films\, installations\, and photographic works\, the exhibition gently dismantles and reassembles the layers of her artistic identity\, moving between the dreamlike and the intimately personal. The result is a multi-stranded exhibition that illuminates her rich creative journey and her profound connection to contemporary art.\n\n20 invitations are available from the Onassis Stegi for 22\, 24\, 29\, and 31 May – 5 invitations per day.\n\nBookings open one week before each event at 12:00 noon and are made via this page.
