Arts for all in Athens
Thinking of heading to Greece this summer? Why not visit Athens and see some world class performances at the Athens Festival between June and August?
This mammoth event showcases the best musicians, actors, dancers and other performers that the world has to offer, providing a mix of traditional and contemporary shows.
Just some of the performances that visitors to the city can expect to see include those by the St Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, the Thessaloniki State Orchestra, the National Ballet of China, the Lyon Opera Ballet and Theatre du Soleil.
Individuals taking to the stage this year also include Elvis Costello, Norah Jones, Laurie Anderson and many more.
Shows take place at venues across Athens - including huge open-air amphitheatres and cool, roofed auditoriums - offering visitors the opportunity to see the city's sights between performances while basking in the hot Mediterranean sunshine.
