Vegan Life Market
The first Vegan Life Market is finally here!
After six years of operation and nine successful festivals in its potential, and also following the huge success of the Vegan Life Festival Athens 2021 with 38,000 visitors in just two days, the Vegan Life Festival team has decided to introduce a new form of events!
The Vegan Life Market comes to meet the huge need of the public and businesses for more vegan events in Athens, since, as we are pointed out from all sides, "just one event a year is not enough."

Harri Soinila - Drink Like No One Is Watching
The Athens English Comedy Club presents Finnish comedian Harri Soinila's "Drink Like No One Is Watching" - for the first time in Greece!
One of Finland’s most internationally successful comedians, Harri Soinila has headlined shows from Edinburgh to Casablanca and from Rio de Janeiro to Tallinn, and appeared at European comedy Festivals such as Ljubljana’s PANČ, The Barcelona Comedy Festival, The Liverpool Comedy Festival, Helsinki’s Arctic Laughs and The East European Comedy Festival in London, among others. He’s been on Finnish TV and Maltese radio, and he represented Finland at Laugh Factory’s Funniest Person in the World. He also warmed up for the Canadian mega star Russell Peters on his European tour in 2022.
Unusually open for a Finn, Harri’s first full English language solo talks about being Finnish, drinking and especially the Finnish drinking. Every problem is an opportunity and this is how you turn a drinking problem into a drinking opportunity. There’s also some stuff about dogs and babies, and why dogs are better.
His observational one-liners have been described as dark humor with a golden heart and sometimes the other way around.

Artisans & Markets Walk – Your Greek Shopping Therapy
Artisans & Markets Walk – Your Greek shopping therapy is a walking tour to indulge in local open markets and experience local crafts and artisans. Our walk will take you through the most vibrant parts of the city and everyday life, allowing you to stroll and buy your local treasures.
Starting from the Trekking Hellas Athens base, at the Koukaki area, we will walk up Areopagus Hill to admire the view. We will then head south through the Plaka district before we reach the areas of Monastiraki and Psyri. We’ve now reached the marketplace and the well-known Varvakios Market (meat market), a memorable experience!
Around the corner is the old Stock Exchange and Athens City Hall. We then enter a more diverse side of Athens, through Geraniou Street, a hidden multicultural neighborhood.
The last part of our walk takes us around Omonia Square, an always buzzing part of Athens.
We get to taste the street food in this area before ending our walk at the Omonia metro station!
