Thought dinosaurs went extinct? Think again!

Come meet him up close and personal to feed him, snap a few photos, take him for a walk, and play with him until you’re out of breath!

15-Minute Open Neighbourhood
2025-09-21 13:00 - 17:00
The City of Athens, with the support of the Commonspace Co-op, invites you to take part in a neighborhood mapping activity through a short online questionnaire.

This initiative is part of the 15-Minute Open Neighbourhood project, which aims to encourage walking and the use of low-impact, environmentally friendly forms of transport.

The goal is to connect key community locations, such as parks, schools, cultural and leisure venues, Municipal Clinics, and Citizens’ Service Centres (KEP), via walking and cycling routes that take no longer than 15 minutes.

Help us map your neighborhood and reimagine the city together!

Please note this event will be held in Greek.

Cool Crips: Redefining Disability
2025-09-21 13:00 - 17:00
Athinas Street transforms into a space for reflection and contemplation. A hands-on workshop that confronts us with the real issues of disability and exclusion.

Through a specially designed course, participants “experience” exclusion and come to realise that the barriers are not within the body, but in the environment around us. As we move through the corridor, our everyday lives change momentarily: we struggle, adapt, and perceive reality – both our own and that of others – with new eyes. We envision a city that embraces everyone, everything, and all walks of life.

A questionnaire at the beginning and end of the experience provides unexpected answers to tough questions.

Panos Vlahos Live Concert

A unique concert full of improvisation, songs, laughter, and spontaneity with the unceasing Panos Vlahos, who brings his own energetic baggage to the “Car-Free Athinas Street” stage, closing this big Athenian open-air event with everything he’s gathered throughout his career. His songs tell stories that are personal, social, and political. For Panos, art is all about community, and he will bring that sense of connection alive, promising moments full of emotion, joy, and genuine togetherness.
