SUMMARY:Yorgos Lanthimos: Photographs
DESCRIPTION:As the This is Athens City Festival kicks off an exciting new partnership with Onassis Stegi\, we offer a look through the lens of a true visionary. In his first-ever solo photography exhibition in Greece\, the internationally acclaimed director Yorgos Lanthimos presents 182 works that map out his unique visual language through a different medium.\n\nThis is a brilliant opportunity to get to know a whole other side of his artistry\, stepping away from the cinema screen and into the still image. In the exhibition space of the Stegi\, visitors encounter photographs created on the margins of film productions such as Poor Things (2023)\, Kinds of Kindness (2024)\, and Bugonia (2025)\, shot in cities like New Orleans and Atlanta\, as well as in studios in Budapest\, where entire cities were constructed as cinematic sets\, alongside a new series of works from Athens and the Aegean.\n\nThrough these images\, the familiar\, the strange\, and the silent take on a new intensity. It’s Lanthimos at his most raw\, showcasing his deeply personal and recognisable authorship. Whether he’s capturing a landscape or the human form\, you’re invited to see the world through the singular\, idiosyncratic gaze of one of the world’s most significant contemporary creators.

SUMMARY:A Historical Walk with Dr. Iordanis Papadopoulos: Havteia
DESCRIPTION:The This is Athens City Festival invites you on a fascinating historical stroll through the neighbourhoods that shaped our city’s urban soul. Led by Dr. Iordanis Papadopoulos\, this walk takes us from the bustling corners of Havteia and Omonia down to 3rd September Street\, Patission\, and the leafy Fokionos Negri.\nIt will shape into a journey through an Athens that was constantly reinventing itself through social shifts\, political episodes\, and grand architectural plans. We’ll be connecting the dots between the streets\, the people\, and the events that turned these areas into the backbone of Athenian life.\n\nAs we walk\, Dr. Papadopoulos will spotlight the hidden details from the grand buildings you might usually walk past\, to the historical memories tucked into side streets\, and the “secret” stories that make up the big picture of the city. You’ll see Athens as a living\, breathing landscape where the past is still very much present. If you want to understand not just what Athens was\, but what it carries in its vibrant identity today\, this is the tour for you.\n\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.

SUMMARY:Tropical Party Athens
DESCRIPTION:It doesn’t take much to create an unforgettable night: just a love for music\, a desire to dance\, and a brave dose of extroversion. That’s the philosophy behind Tropical Party Athens\, which returns for the This is Athens City Festival 2026 to remind us that\, with the right rhythm\, the city can feel like summer long before June arrives.\n\nWith a sense of total freedom and a personality that never takes itself too seriously\, the Tropical crew promises another high-pulse night. The soundtrack spans the entire spectrum of the modern electronic dance scene\, drawing in a loyal crowd of regulars and curious newcomers who usually end up staying until the very last beat.\n\nThe atmosphere is open\, bright\, and effortlessly joyful\, a momentary escape where urban routine is swapped for pure carefreeness. It’s proof that Athens knows exactly how to celebrate with colour\, rhythm\, and an authentic\, sun-drenched vibe.

SUMMARY:A Victim of Society & Mechanimal
DESCRIPTION:Loud guitars\, deep drones\, and two of the most authentic voices in the Greek alternative scene are joining forces for the This is Athens City Festival to create an explosive sonic experience for the night owls.\n\nA Victim of Society\, the duo of Vangelis Makris and Fotis Ntouskas\, is set to unleash their lo-fi spells\, drowning the venue in fuzzy guitars and hypnotic reverbs that feel like a sonic hallucination. On the other side of the bill\, Mechanimal\, the audiovisual brainchild of Giannis Papaioannou\, takes over to “tune” the dystopia\, hammering the dancefloor with drone-rock obsessions and industrial rhythms.\nThis is a night dedicated to those seeking intensity and truth in the city’s sound\, where the music merges with the strobe lights and the raw energy of the pit.
