For much of the year, plenty of family plans here happen outside. This list gathers the open-air events coming up next: kids' races, street parades, kite days on the hills, festivals in parks and squares, and holiday markets once winter arrives. It updates itself, so the soonest plans are always at the top. Pack water and a hat, even in spring.
KIDOT is a children's festival in Gazi, held at the old OSY depot on the corner of Ermou and Pireos.
It suits families who want a full day out, with the option of a second day if the kids want to go back.
Each winter Technopolis in Gazi turns into a Christmas village run by Santa and his elves. Kids move between hands-on workshops, a theater show and a fun park with slides, a carousel, bumper cars and an ice rink.
It is come-and-go, so it suits a few hours on a weekend afternoon. Younger kids head for the rides and lights; school-age kids get the most from the workshops and show.
Schoolchildren march for Ochi Day, the national holiday remembering Greece's "No" to Italy's 1940 ultimatum.
Kids will enjoy it, and it opens an easy conversation about the history behind the holiday.
