Going to the Museum of Cycladic Art with your children will allow you to bond with them. Whether it's reading labels under the artifacts and explaining what they mean, or laughing over a strange ancient object, you will leave the Museum with new knowledge and, most importantly, unforgettable memories. If your children are 2 and 10 years old, this is even more true with the Museum's weekend family activities running from October to May.

By taking part in these weekend programs, both parents and children get the unique opportunity to learn about the Museum's world through activities like storytelling, photography, music, theatre, interactive tours, and even art workshops. To help with finding the most suitable weekend activity for your kids, we've described each program below.

 

 

In this workshop, children are introduced to a book whose story and illustrations will inspire their artistic projects. Here kids will be encouraged to experiment with painting, drawing, impressions, collage, clay, and various construction methods. It will get everyone's creativity flowing by sparking their imaginations and perceptions. As an adult, you may discover creativity, you never knew you had; if you're a creative, you may find a new source of inspiration for your works! The benefits for your children, though, are clear: they will develop motor skills and learn to express themselves through art. Overall, though, you'll get the chance to spend time together while listening to stories and exploring new worlds!

For February, there is a Carnival-themed workshop, based on Jon Klassen's story, 'This is not my hat.' In this workshop, parents and children will make their own hat inspired by Klassen's story.

 

Language: Greek only
Ages: 2-5

Ticket price for both parents and children: €12

Note: Parental presence required.

 

 

Like the “There was a Little Book” activity, your children will listen to music from around the world that will get them dancing, and will inspire them to represent music through different media, like paint, collage, stamps, photographs, and smudging. At the end of these sessions, children will invite their parents to present their works and dance together!

 

For February, the workshop titled “You’re the One that I Want Grease (musical)” will focus on 1950s rock ’n’ roll music. Children will also dress up and dance to music from the musical Grease. Then, kids will get the chance to enter a fairytale, where a princess leaves her castle, goes on escapades, and meets her prince. Using Toulouse-Lautrec’s prints for inspiration, the children will use the love story they participated in to make posters for a musical. Parents will be invited to help decorate the room with their children’s posters, and even help stage the kids’ show!

 

Tip: Make sure that you dress your kid in comfortable, casual clothes that you won’t mind cleaning later.

 

Language: Greek only

Ages: 4-5
Ticket price: €12

 

 

In these workshops, children explore how the self has been portrayed in the visual arts of different cultures and time periods. It will also raise questions about how, as humans, we form our views about the world and people. Using different creative and artistic techniques each time, children will be encouraged to explore and develop aspects of their individual personalities, while learning how to navigate things like conflict, change, and diversity.

 

This February, the “Little Stories of the Self” workshop will allow children to think about true and imaginary selves, and what happens when they meet. To do this, kids will get the opportunity to transform into imaginary heroes in an inclusive story. They will use paints, collage, and cameras to transfer their story on paper and make it come alive!

Tip: Make sure that you dress your kid in comfortable, casual clothes that you won’t mind cleaning later.

 

Languages: Greek and English

Ages: 5-7
Ticket price: €12

 

 

This activity’s concept is exactly like the aforementioned one, but it is geared towards older children.

 

For February, kids between the ages of 8 and 10 can take part in the “Little Stories of the Self” workshop mentioned above, or they can choose to participate in the “Who Am I?” workshop. In this workshop, children discover more about themselves by taking on a different identity. They will be encouraged to describe and transform themselves, while also learning how to improvise in front of the camera. Unlike the other programs, this activity will teach children fundamental video and photography techniques to create mixed media works of art.

 

Languages: Greek and English

Ages: 8-10
Ticket price: €12

Although there are several kid-friendly activities in Athens, the Museum’s emphasis on teaching self-expression through artistic activities at different ages offers a unique experience that should definitely be considered!

Vibrant and cosmopolitan, Piraeus combines urban kick, commercial hubbub, massive industrial infrastructure and seaside hedonism in a heady brew that's hard to find elsewhere in Greece.

One of the busiest ports in Europe, Piraeus has for centuries been a melting pot of sailors and merchants arriving from every part of the globe, alongside the reams of immigrants and colonisers who have also landed ashore. These culturally-diverse influences have woven their way into the local commerce, gastronomy, arts and entertainment scenes.

There are some “old guard” landmarks that you might want to tick off first to give an important cultural context to present day Piraeus: the local Municipal Gallery, with its marine-themed haul of Greek art from the past 300 years or so (you’ll also catch contemporary art shows from time to time); the Hellenic Maritime Museum and the Piraeus Archaeological Museum.

These days though, the loudest art buzz is to be found in the Piraeus portside neighbourhood of Agios Dionysios (also known as Papastratos). Once a site of heavy industry dubbed "the Manchester of Athens" by the 20th-century Athenian middle-class, Agios Dionysios is full of large industrial buildings. They’ve made rich pickings for real-estate developers and eagle-eyed investors who are rapidly turning them into sleek developments amid the garages, metal workshops and warehouses.

Among the art professionals who have colonised the area in recent years are international galleries like Rodeo from London and Carwan from Beirut. Both have established new spaces here, sharing the neighbourhood with restaurants, night clubs, office workers and blue-collar locals. The arrival of these cosmopolitan galleries has transformed Agios Dionysios into an art-lover’s hotspot well worth making a detour from downtown Athens for.

Meanwhile, whether by chance or by design, Piraeus galleries are now luring visitors from abroad as well (outside lockdown at least). Within walking distance from the port and only a short taxi ride from the nearby yacht marinas, Polydefkous Street in particular has become an art stop for canny collectors en-route to their Greek island holiday homes every summer.

DL Gallery and ENIA Gallery

First on the scene at Agios Dionysios was Dimitris Lymperopoulos' DL Gallery. Raised in a family of Piraeus frame makers and art dealers, Lymperopoulos transformed his father's former factory into a gallery in 2015.
The large industrial space with its 1950s glass façade was more than suitable for exhibiting contemporary art, especially large sculptures and installations. To accommodate his growing roster of artists—which includes local and foreign names like Greek painter Dimitris Yeros and Portuguese photographer Virgilio Ferreira—Lymperopoulos acquired an old warehouse opposite his gallery and opened a second one. ENIA gallery is now DL Gallery’s next-door sibling. The former is dedicated to conceptual art and installation, whereas the latter tilts to contemporary painting and photography.

Growing up in Agios Dionysios has allowed Dimitris Lymperopoulos to witness every step of the area’s post-industrial decay and current renaissance. "Every building you see here houses workshops, businesses, craftspeople”, he explains. “Not all of them stand empty. During the day you can hear their machinery working. Agios Dionysios is still very alive and busy."

Rodeo Gallery

Housed in a former warehouse built in the early 20th century, Rodeo Gallery has kept its old façade, so it blends in seamlessly with its surroundings. Upon entering, you find yourself in a cool cavernous space. The stone of the walls and the original wooden roof have been left exposed, and a sleek box containing administrative spaces has been added in the middle by Berlin-based architect Etienne Descloux.

"It is a rather challenging space for exhibitions," gallery founder Sylvia Kouvali admits. "A white cube can be treated as a blank canvas. A stone wall is no blank canvas. That said, it's interesting to offer this space to artists. Artists today have a need to work with the space they exhibit in, which is part of the post-conceptual tradition we are going through now."

Rodeo Gallery was the first gallery to open on Polydefkous Street in 2018 and its programming is based on long-term collaborations with artists, most of whom use a variety of media in their work. The mix of artists’ backgrounds is international in scope and surprisingly diverse. For example, recent shows range from solo exhibitions by Greek painter Apostolos Georgiou, who was born in the 1950s, and young London-based artist Sidsel Meineche Hansen, whose work is a whimsical mix of digital media, contemporary drawing, sculptural objects and installation. Both exhibitions activated the space in different ways.

Floating somewhere in between polished and rough, Rodeo’s Piraeus space is one of the successful examples of how galleries can experiment with curating shows and activating repurposed spaces in Athens. Visitors often hang out at the benches of the wine bar next door, which are planted out on the street. Opening nights (in the pre-Covid-19 days at least), synced with neighbouring galleries, turned into lively block parties.

The Intermission

On the heels of Rodeo, art advisor Artemis Baltoyanni opened The Intermission on Polydefkous Street in 2019. The Intermission doesn’t have its own roster of artists, but instead invites artists and the galleries that represent them to exhibit at its space. So far Baltoyanni has hosted three exhibitions with two artists: the acclaimed American conceptual artist John Knight and emerging Athens-based artist Zoë Paul.
The Intermission is housed inside a former car workshop with stone walls and a high ceiling with a wooden roof — the same situation as Rodeo. In fact, the entire block used to be one interconnected facility, hence the architectural echoes between all the galleries here. Most of Baltoyanni's neighbours opted to keep the stone walls of their spaces exposed. She went for a more clean-cut, white-cube approach instead. The white walls work wonderfully with the bright natural light that floods in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, adding a special glow to the space.
“Piraeus has a very particular identity, which I like,” says Baltoyanni. “It's gritty and noisy and full of people. But at the same time it's so urban and full of pockets to discover. Also, artists and galleries want to come here to exhibit. Piraeus is not isolated: we have the Athenian audience that comes here, and there's buying interest locally."

Carwan Gallery

The most recent arrival to Polydefkous is Carwan, a contemporary design gallery that was founded in Beirut in 2011 and touched down in Piraeus in 2020.

Architect and curator Nicolas Bellavance-Lecompte, the gallery’s co-founder, and his new business partner, architect Quentin Moyse, renovated the space together. Their intention? To preserve the building’s aesthetic qualities and replace what was broken using the simplest elements possible. The space is a very organic addition to Piraeus’ new gallery street: when the Athenian sun is not too high in the sky, visitors are greeted outside and the street becomes an extension of the gallery.

Carwan's programme has consistently championed contemporary design from Western Asia and the Mediterranean. The gallery currently focuses on what Bellavance-Lecompte describes as “conceptual design”, work by designers that borders contemporary art and collectible design. The gallery’s opening show in Piraeus featured a collection of one-off bronze vessels by Vancouver-based designer Omer Arbel. The gold-hued pieces were cast in glass moulds that broke as the molten metal cooled in them: a great example of how design and manufacture can veer into the poetic.

“Moving to Greece has opened up a lot of new potential,” says Bellavance-Lecompte. Without doubt, the arrival of so many international galleries in Piraeus has upped the ante for the local art scene and is sparking new collaborations. It has also established a fresh way for exhibiting and viewing art: one that is slower and, even by Greek standards, more social and communal.

A minuscule gem of an island, Trizonia is the largest island and the only inhabited one in the Corinthian Gulf. It belongs to the prefecture of Fokida, and, along with the islets of Prasoudi, Planemi, and Agios Ioannis comprises a small group of islands. Rumor has it that when Aristotle Onassis was looking to buy an island of his own, he was constantly visiting Trizonia, looking for a way to acquire them.

This unspoiled getaway is an ideal destination for vacationers who seek scenic beauty combined with a peaceful serenity. On Trizonia, it’s unlikely that you will come across any cars, as they are not allowed there, and there are barely any roads for them to drive on. So, if you’re traveling with kids, this small island provides the perfect opportunity for them to run free, play endlessly, discover the world around them, and get back in touch with nature!

Trizonia is a verdant island with lush vegetation, including olive trees, almond trees, vines, prickly pears, eucalypti, and many more. Visitors can wander the picturesque port, admire the natural marina where boats and yachts dock, visit one of the seaside taverns and cafes or go for a swim on one of the island’s three beaches: Pounda, Aspra Halikia, and Kapsales. Located 2km from the port, Pounda is the largest and most beautiful beach, with fine red sand and emerald waters; a definite must-see!

How To Get There

The best thing about Trizonia is that you don’t have to travel for hours on end to get there. It’s only a 5 -minute boat ride off the coast of the fishing village of Chania, on the north side of the Gulf. And, for the best part? The boat ticket costs just 1 euro per person!

To get to Chania from Athens, travelers must follow the route Athens-Thiva-Aliartos-Livadia-Delfoi-Itea-Galaxidi-Eratini-Chania, which is 276km.

Navarino Challenge returns dynamically on May 9-11, bringing together amateur and professional athletes with the presence of Olympians and world champions. With the message “Sports Unites People”, the event will feature a rich schedule with more than 60 activities and 20 Olympic sports. Participants will have the opportunity to live this unforgettable experience at Costa Navarino and Pylos with the events hosted at The Westin Resort Costa Navarino, W Costa Navarino, and The Romanos, a Luxury Collection Resort.

Navarino Challenge continues to lead the way in sports tourism, maintaining its position as one of Greece’s top events. At the recent Sports Marketing Awards and Sponsorship Awards 2025, the event received a total of 28 distinctions – 3 Platinum, 18 Gold, 6 Silver, and 1 Bronze – confirming its strong impact and innovative spirit.

The event was recognized as the top sports tourism event, the top wellness event, and the top multi-sport event. It stood out for its strategic approach to branding and sales, its innovative fan engagement program, its alternative and children-focused activities, its meaningful use of content creators, and its exceptional sponsorship collaborations with Miele Hellas and the MOTODYNAMICS Group.

As every year, the event remains committed to promoting values that support society, solidarity, and health. Participants are invited to take part in activities that help the fight against obesity while also being educated on the benefits of the Messinian diet. The event embraces the values of the Olympic Ideal, promoting a peaceful and better world without discrimination—where every athlete is awarded their own medal, celebrating participation and effort.

For the first time this year, the event joins forces with one of the greatest figures in Greek basketball, Panagiotis Giannakis – the only athlete in European basketball history to have won a European Championship both as a player and as a coach.

As part of this unique collaboration with Giannakis Academy, the innovative academy founded by the Greek Olympian and dedicated to the education and development of young athletes, the Basketball Clinic powered by Melissa will offer unforgettable sports experiences. Children aged 5 to 15 will have the opportunity to improve their skills and develop their athletic character alongside the legendary Greek basketball icon. At the same time, through Melissa High Protein and Melissa Boost products, participants will learn about the importance of proper nutrition and energy for a healthy and active sports lifestyle.

Basketball is one of the core pillars of this year’s event, with activities designed for everyone—from young athletes to basketball professionals.

Girls aged 5 to 16 will have the chance to grow and be inspired by Olympian and EuroBasket MVP Evina Maltsi, who is passionately focused on the development and empowerment of girls in basketball. She will lead the Girls Basketball Clinic powered by Trace ‘n Chase.

The action-packed Knock Out Challenge powered by Trace ‘n Chase, featuring EuroLeague legend Joe Arlauckas, adds even more excitement, offering fast-paced and dynamic matchups where participants test their skills in a game that combines precision, speed, and strategy.

Additionally, this year’s event embraces the power of inclusive sports, with the Wheelchair Basketball Demonstration Game powered by Vikos. Champion basketball player Georgia Kaltsi and athletes in wheelchairs will deliver powerful moments of competition and inspiration, promoting inclusion and equal participation in sports.

This year’s Navarino Challenge schedule introduces an exciting innovation: the “Navarino Challenge Talks”, a series of talks focusing on sports, health, and wellness. One of the featured speakers will be Elisabeth Calbari (Corporate Neurosciences Psychologist | TEDx & International Keynote Speaker, Founder of Self Balance), who will speak about the power of exercise, leadership, and mental balance, highlighting how high achievers—both in business and in sports—live like Olympians in their daily lives, guided by determination and goal-oriented focus.

With the support of the MOTODYNAMICS Group, Olympian and former international basketball player Dimitris Papanikolaou will share his personal journey and the challenges he has faced, inspiring the audience through his experiences in both sports and inclusion.

Thanasis Chountras, motorsport coach, will dive into important topics related to road safety. Award-winning chef Ettore Botrini will give a special talk, unveiling the secrets of gastronomy, discipline, and creativity required to reach the top in his field. As part of the Obesity Awareness and Information Seminar powered by Novo Nordisk, participants will hear from Mrs. Mary Karageorgou, External Affairs Director of Novo Nordisk Hellas, and Dr. Spyros Sapounas, endocrinologist-diabetologist, Vice President of the Hellenic Medicines Organization, and former Vice President of the Hellenic National Public Health Organization. They will highlight the challenges of obesity across all ages and the solutions offered by modern science.

Additionally, through the initiative of π³ = Plastic Pollution Prevention and Humanity Greece, the event will connect NGOs with the world of sports, emphasizing the importance of reducing plastic pollution, raising environmental awareness, encouraging volunteerism, and promoting social solidarity, with the participation of non-profit organizations and the athletic community.

Navarino Challenge is proud to welcome back Kostas Katsouranis, Euro 2004 Champion with the Greek National Team, for the second time. The former international midfielder, who has had a remarkable career with top Greek and European clubs, returns once again to support the next generation.

For yet another year, under his guidance, the Football Clinics powered by Miele will take place for children aged 5 to 17, with the support of the model football academy Falcons Football Academy.

The F45 Barrio Salamanca HYROX powered by KORRES will make its debut this year, introducing a cutting-edge hybrid race that combines running with high-intensity functional exercises. With four world championships already under its belt, HYROX is considered the sport of the future, attracting athletes from a variety of sports disciplines.

The race and training include running, rowing, and dynamic exercises, challenging both the endurance and strength of participants. Athletes are required to complete eight different workout stations, with 1 kilometer of running between each station.

HYROX is a unique challenge that pushes the limits of fitness, strength, and endurance. It demands commitment and systematic preparation while offering multiple benefits for both amateur and professional athletes alike.

As part of the event, the MOTODYNAMICS Group supports society through initiatives that promote responsibility, innovation, and social contribution. Together with former international basketball player, Olympian, and Group ambassador Dimitris Papanikolaou, they will organize a special Inclusion Talk in schools of the Pylos-Nestor Municipality, promoting acceptance of diversity and inclusion through sports.

In parallel, middle and high school students in the region will have the opportunity to attend a specialized Road Safety Seminar, led by motorsport coach Thanasis Chountras.

The physiotherapists of Joint Athens, Aggelos Giakoumidis and Giorgos Poulianitis, will lead specialized sessions focusing on immediate lower back protection from pain and injuries, stress relief for the body, and the meaningful improvement of mobility—helping participants move freely and without discomfort.

At the same time, the exceptional Ifigenia Baka, pilates instructor and owner of Breath Pilates Studio, will lead two unique sessions: a full-body workout for all ages through Pilates High Intensity Interval Training, and a Stretch and Strength class designed to enhance flexibility and mobility.

The international retail company JYSK, constantly evolving, supports unlimited access to sports, by promoting initiatives that celebrate diversity, equality, and inclusion — core values of the brand.

As part of this year's Navarino Challenge, JYSK will support, for the first time, the sports of Boccia, featuring 7-time Paralympic medalist Grigoris Polychronidis, and Wheelchair Tennis, with Greek national champion and national team member Giorgos Lazaridis. Attendees will have the opportunity to discover these sports and be inspired by the athletes’ stories and achievements.

With this initiative, JYSK reinforces its commitment to creating an environment where every athlete can feel the power of participation and perseverance.

Since June 1989, JYSK has been the main sponsor of Parasport Denmark, making it one of the longest-standing sports sponsorships in Denmark. JYSK proudly supports athletes in achieving outstanding results over time.

As the company expanded and opened new stores abroad, this sponsorship extended to other countries as well.

At the same time, JYSK will welcome participants to the event with a Welcome Cocktail & Finger Food powered by JYSK, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere where relaxation and socializing meet a shared passion for sports.

This is a very light, summer dish. You can use either fresh or salted cod. If the fish is salted, you should soak it in water for at least 24 hours, changing the water often so that the salt is washed out. A good idea is to stand the fish on a rack, so that it doesn’t come into direct contact with the salt that has settled at the bottom of the basin. If you have to feed more people, you just increase the ingredients accordingly.

500gr. cod, fresh or salted, cut in portions

3 medium potatoes

3 fresh tomatoes chopped (or a can of chopped tomatoes)

3 green onions

1 clove garlic minced

2 tablespoonfuls parsley finely chopped

4 tablespoonfuls olive oil

Salt, pepper

Peel and wash the potatoes, and cut them into quarters. Remove any yellow or wilted leaves from the green onions, cut off the root part, wash and slice thinly.

The Reuters team, Yannis Behrakis, Alkis Konstantinides & Alexandros Avramides, won a 2016 Pulitzer Prize for breaking news and photography of the European refugee crisis.

 

The Reuters photo coverage of Middle Eastern migrants arriving in Europe was led by Yannis Behrakis, chief photographer for Greece and Cyprus and the Guardian newspaper's 2015 Agency Photographer of the Year.

The team captured a series of images of migrants crowded on flimsy sea craft and their first moments upon reaching Europe.

"We showed the world what was going on, and the world cared. It showed that humanity is still alive," Behrakis said. "We made for these unfortunate people’s voice to be heard. Now with a Pulitzer, we feel that our work has been professionally recognized."

Some images showed families rushing ashore, flailing away in the water or collapsing on the beach. Others juxtaposed the rafters at sea with a cruise ship or a leaping dolphin or the setting sun.

The Reuters photo staff was named as co-winner for breaking news photography along with Mauricio Lima, Sergey Ponomarev, Tyler Hicks and Daniel Etter of The New York Times, also for their images of the migrant crisis.

It was the third Pulitzer for Reuters, a unit of Thomson Reuters, having won for international reporting in 2014 and for breaking news photography in 2008.
