what’s on
The next seven days in Athens.
A short, hand-kept list — not a full calendar. We don’t try to list every gig and pop-up; we list the ones worth rearranging your week for. Updated daily.
A quieter week in Athens.
Nothing on our editor’s shortlist for the next seven days — we list events the way we list walks, with one ear to the ground rather than a firehose. We’ll be back with picks soon. Meanwhile, the city is still walkable: here are four routes that read well any day of the week.

Four walks for an empty week.
Ano Petralona: tavernas and rebetiko
The old working quarter under Filopappou — family tavernas, a real square, and live rebetiko.
Exarcheia and Strefi Hill: bookshops, murals, the climb
The student quarter's bookshops and political walls, then the scramble up Strefi for the view.
Filopappou Hill and the Pnyx
The green hill facing the Acropolis: where democracy met, and the best Parthenon view in Athens.
Gazi & Kerameikos: the gasworks and the Sacred Way
An old gasworks turned arts centre, the city's ancient cemetery, and the road to Eleusis.
