Athens: Cultural Events
One of the most important cultural
evens is the Athens Festival. This event takes place during the
summer months and incorporates operas, dancing, and classical
music. The majority of these fascinating performances are held

There are however a variety of
other locations during the summer that host some interesting events.
Many events offer concerts or theatrical events. Currently Athens

world class art exhibitions.
The above are just a very small
sampling of some of the many different cultural events taking
place in Athens and the rest of Greece every year.
