colorful and loud
street parades. Central
Square is a
great place to
catch all the
action and soak
up the festive
spirit that resonates
throughout the city. For
the ten days
leading up to
Greek Orthodox Lent,
from 9-19th of
February, the streets
of Athens are
filled with color
as fancy-dress parades
and enormous parties
engulf the city.
This is the
last time Athenians
can party until
after Easter. On
the eve of
Lent head to Filopappou Hill
where families get
together for traditional
kite flying.

two weeks every
April, the Apollo-Renault Cinema
Theatre and French
institute of Athens
celebrates the very

cinema. As well

there are also retrospectives of
important French directors
as well as
shorts and children’s
screenings.
All
year round you
can participate to
the climbing on
the Lycabettus Hill,
with its views
over the mist-shrouded
Saronic Gulf Isles.
There’s also a
funicular for those
not wanting to
climb. For those
interested in music
the Museum of
Greek Traditional Music
displays over 1200
folk music of the
Anogeiannakis collection. Every
showcase has audio, so
visitors get to
enjoy excerpts of
music from the instrument
on show. Keeping the
sounds of this
music, the pictures
of the ancient
temples and the beauty
of
the legends in
our minds, we
leave Athens for the
others to come
and explore it
and for us
to return next
time and reveal
the unexplored.
