Events and things to do tonight in Athens
Experience contemporary choreography at the historic Odeon of Herodes Atticus. The cool stone of the ancient theater provides the perfect escape from the June heat as the sun sets over the Acropolis.
Nothing says Athenian summer like a film under the stars. Enjoy a classic movie in the heart of Plaka with a view of the floodlit Acropolis just over the screen's edge.
Seasonal flavors and rooftop views
An unbeatable view of the Acropolis through the rooftops of Monastiraki. The vibe is casual and energetic, ideal for a sunset drink on a Wednesday evening.
Make the most of the long summer days
Explore the whitewashed, island-style alleyways hidden right under the Acropolis before the afternoon sun peaks. Stop for a cold Freddo Espresso at a local café tucked into the stone stairs.
The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center comes alive on weekends. Enjoy the cool breeze coming off the canal while listening to live local jazz performances on the Great Lawn.
Head down to the Athenian Riviera for a day of sun and crystal-clear Aegean water. It's the quintessential start to the summer swimming season, just a short tram or taxi ride from the center.
