Curated events

What's on in Athens

The few Athens events worth planning a trip around, with dates from the organisers and a checked date on every entry.

This is not a city calendar. It is the short list of events that change an Athens visit, starting with the marathon weekend that closes the centre's avenues and fills the hotels near the Panathenaic Stadium.

Every entry says when it was last checked. Programmes change, so give the organiser's page one last look before you build a day around an event.

Latest check: 12 September 2026.
