Things to do near the venue

The area around Athens Conservatoire has plenty of cafés, bars, restaurants and small pastry shops (see list)

Some museums worth checking out:

• National Archaeological Museum
• Museum of Cycladic Art
• EMST (National Museum of Contemporary Art)
• Acropolis Museum
• Basil & Elise Goulandris Foundation
• Benaki Museum

Just north of the venue lies Exarcheia, a historic district of anarchist politics, squats, mutual aid and counter-cultural organising. Exarcheia has also been instrumental in welcoming and aiding refugees. It is now undergoing intense gentrification through constant police presence, a metro station construction and Airbnb saturation owned and managed by affluent foreign funds.

• Prefer cooperative cafés, independent (book)shops and other similar venues (see some indicative recs in the list under "Places in Exarcheia"). Worth checking out:
  • Feminist Autonomous Centre for research (Instagram)
  • Steki Metanaston ("Migrants' Social Center)
  • Cooperative (Radical) Bookstore

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️: Athens has become quite queer friendly in recent years and most central hotspots are even more so. Check out this list for some of the more well-known places to go out: Gay-friendly Bars, Clubs, & Restaurants in Athens

Athens is also home to a vibrant performance scene. You can check out what's on in these sites:

• Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre (also worth visiting for its architecture and gardens)
• Onassis Foundation
• Events | The Official Athens Guide
• More.com (you can also purchase tickets for many events through here)

Last, don't miss out on catching a film in an open-air cinema, another summer staple option for Athenians. Some of the more well-known ones can be found here (in Greek).
