About

Open House Athens is the city's yearly architecture festival. For a few days, dozens of buildings, from private homes and modern workspaces to historic monuments and cultural institutions, open their doors for guided tours led by volunteers. Kids get to step behind facades they pass every day and discover the design and history inside. It suits curious school-age kids and teens more than toddlers.
