SUMMARY:Intervention at the House of Identities
DESCRIPTION:The This is Athens City Festival 2026 invites us to create the “House of Identities\,” a small-scale structure made of construction mesh that hosts countless human figures engraved on zinc sheets. Every visitor who passes through the “house’s” small door is not merely a spectator\, but a co-creator: invited to leave their personal mark\, their fingerprint\, and a small message on special paper suspended from the walls.\n\nThis “little house” has no roof\, remaining open to space and time\, while its walls are built day by day from the signatures and memories of the people who visit it.

SUMMARY:A Remembrance Route for Τhose Who Didn’t Make It – 1940-1944
DESCRIPTION:This Remembrance Route is a moving tribute to the thousands of anonymous victims of the Great Famine during the Nazi Occupation of Athens\, as well as those who fell before the firing squads. This walk unfolds the harrowing yet deeply human stories of our city and its people who didn’t make it through one of the dramatic chapters of our city’s history. Simultaneously\, the Third Cemetery of Athens is reintroduced to the public as a vital historical landmark\, a sacred space of memory for those who never lived to see our country free.\n\nLeading this evocative journey is Zetta Antonopoulou\, Historian-Archaeologist and Head of the Cultural Heritage Department of the City of Athens.\n\nMeeting Point: Entrance of the Third Cemetery\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: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 on 18/05 at 14:00 and are made via this page.

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.
