1.Athens Folk Festival 25-28July 2025

Athens, the historic capital of Europe and the cradle of Western civilization, is a place where the glorious past merges with modern vitality. With the Acropolis dominating its skyline, Athens is the ultimate meeting point for cultural events and festivals that honor international tradition.

In addition to world-famous monuments such as the Parthenon, the Ancient Agora and the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Athens has bustling neighborhoods such as Plaka and Monastiraki, filled with colors, sounds and flavors. The city’s rich history, stretching from classical antiquity to modern times, makes it a unique cultural canvas, ideal for hosting an international festival.
