Athens is home to over 100 cinemas, including multiplexes, open-air venues, historic buildings, and traditional district cinemas. Most of these are located in the city center. Outdoor cinemas, in particular, are hugely popular, drawing thousands of viewers each summer, with some venues even reporting full houses for the latest films. Once boasting more than 320 summer cinemas, Athens remains one of the cities with the highest number of open-air cinemas worldwide. Many of these cinemas have been preserved, maintaining their authentic atmosphere and historical charm, carrying on the city’s rich cinematic tradition. Would you miss the chance to experience this truly authentic Athenian tradition?
Athens hosts a wide range of festivals throughout the year, with the most popular taking place every September. This festival features all the major premieres of the year, with both Greek and international screenings. In addition, you’ll find frequent tributes to different countries and languages, classic movie festivals, film marathons, and more. These events aren’t limited to the city’s main cinema halls—they also take place in official institutes, municipal halls in various neighborhoods, and even cafes. Every summer, Athens also hosts an open-air festival featuring a nomadic cinema that travels to unique, historical, and sometimes unexpected locations around the city. It’s clear—Athens truly loves cinema and celebrates it in countless ways!
Now, let’s take a quick tour of Athens’ cinemas, categorized by area and what makes each one special:
City Center (Syntagma – Kolonaki – Exarchia – Kerameikos)
Astor (Stadiou 28, Athens, Metro Panepistimio)
Astor Cinema, one of the oldest of Athens, is located inside Stoa Gallery, one of the most beautiful Galleries of the city. It’s a building has a long history, inextricably linked to the 7th art, as the cinema has been operating since 1947, while the same spot has housed cinemas since 1908. Recently renovated, the brand new Astor, with its unique amphitheater and luxurious foyer, reopened on 2015, under the new management of distribution company Weird Wave and with a high quality program. The name of the theater is derived from John Jacob Astor (1763-1848), who was the first multi-millionaire and the creator of the first trust in the United States. The word was then synonymous with opulence. The cinema opened its doors on October 24, 1947, with David Lin’s great film adaptation of Dickens’ Great Expectations, screened under the auspices of the British Embassy, which was then housed on the upper floors of the same building. The Astor cinema operated for nearly 60 years (1947-2005), with a brief hiatus from 1986 to 1990 when it functioned as a theater. After closing for five years, it reopened for two seasons between 2010 and 2012 with a new layout. The same location was home to the ‘Pallas’ cinema (1908-1920), likely the first cinema in the city built exclusively for film screenings, as well as the ‘Cinema Nius’ (1940-1947). Over time, the space also served as a car station (1921), an Italian military cinema, and a military depot (1942-1943). Today, the Astor remains the only cinema in Athens where you can catch screenings from early midday until late at night.
Asty (Korai 4, Athens, Metro: Panepistimio)
ASTY cinema is located in a part of the basement of the building at 4 Korai Street, which was constructed in the period 1934-1938. During the German occupation part of the basement became a place of martyrdom and imprisonment for many fighters, which is why the Ministry of Culture designated this part of the basement as a historical monument to be preserved. The rest of the basement was used as a cinema from the beginning. During the German occupation it showed films and current affairs for the benefit of the German troops. During the civil war, the cinema was closed down. Since then the winter cinema ASTY has been operating under the same management. In the 1950s and 1960s the cinema enjoyed great glory, showing great films, mainly of French production. Also, until 1975, the ASTY cinema hosted the Sunday morning screenings of the Film Archive of Greece, often organizing film weeks dedicated to a foreign country. Despite the extensive renovation that took place in 1994, the cinema retains many elements of its old glory, such as the projection booth, the marble staircases with protective iron bars, the foyer tables, the doors, the mirrors, the mosaics, the ticket office. The cinema is classified as a historical monument because it is a ‘historical place of cultural communication of the inhabitants of the city of Athens and is inextricably linked to the memories of the inhabitants of the whole basin.
Elli (Akadimias 64, Athina 106 79)
Cinobo Opera (Akadimias 57, Athina 106 79)
The cinema started in 1948 as a cinema, and in 1986 Odeon took over its operation. It has two halls, one with 520 seats and one with 105 seats. The Opera was one of the cinemas that hosted the festival Premiere Nights and was an artistic and cinematic destination for Athenians. It ceased operations on April 2023, and reopened a year later after Cinobo, the Greek movies platform took its operation.
Film Archive of Greece & Laïs summer cinema ( Iera Odos 48 & Megalou Alexandrou 134-136, Kerameikos (Gazi)
It’s not only the cinema with one of the cheapest tickets in Athens and the best view in Gazi area from its terrace, but also Laïs makes us love it for its innovative actions – in previous summers it prepared screenings of silent films with simultaneous DJ sets and live artists accompanying them, and held other themed weeks, festivals and events.

From the dozens of tourists strolling around to the white stairs in the Dexameni cinema that remind you of the Cyclades. If you want to watch some good European cinema, this is the place for you. For the record, Dexameni supplied water to Athens until the Ottoman period and again until the middle of the 20th century. In 1991, the Cultural Centre of the EVDAP Employees converted the roof of the Tank into a summer cinema, an urban experiment that succeeded and remains popular to this day.

Early press reports hailed it as ‘the coolest and quietest cinema in Athens.’ At the time, the iconic Blue Building on the corner of Arachovis and Themistokleous was the most expensive building in Athens, with apartments overlooking the VOX roof being rented or sold at premium prices. Today, the legendary VOX cinema remains an integral part of Exarchia Square and continues to be a beloved venue for summer screenings in the city.
Riviera (Valtetsiou 46, Athens, Exarchia)
One of the favourite spots of Exarchia since 1969, Cine Riviera with its beautiful courtyard in a privileged position on the pedestrian street of Valtetsiou is probably one of the most recognisable buildings on this side of the city. Its yellow, folding chairs are more than characteristic, as is the curtain that you have to lift in order to pass through the entrance to this blossoming garden of the centre. Nestled among jasmine trees that nearly obscure part of the screen, the legendary Riviera in Exarchia showcases beloved classic films.

Zefyros (Troon 36, Petralona)
The old bobbin, cinephile magazines at the entrance, fine gravel, honeysuckle, and the playful neighborhood cats are all ‘trademarks’ of this unique cinema.

Alkyonis (42, Ioulianou, Athens, Metro: Victoria)
Alkyonis Cinema has always been more than just a screening room; it’s a hub for culture, dialogue, independent filmmaking, and artistic innovation with a history spanning 49 years. Inaugurated in 1969 at 42 Ioulianou Street, near Victoria Square, Alkyonis was the vision of civil engineer Vangelis Sideris, who decided to transform the ground floor of a newly built apartment building into a movie theater.During the 1980s, special events at Alkyonis included the introduction of a midnight screening every Saturday. However, by the early 1990s, changes in the distribution industry made it difficult for the cinema to screen the films it desired. Despite this, the owner chose to maintain the cinema’s original philosophy, even at the risk of its closure.
In October 2014, Alkyonis re-emerged as a Multispace for Art & Culture, preserving its cinematic roots while expanding to host theater performances, musical evenings, art exhibitions, book launches, themed specials, social events, and festivals.

Studio New Star Art Cinema (33 Stavropoulou Street, Athens, 11252, Metro Victoria)
In October 1967, Sokratis Kapsaskis founded the STUDIO cinema. Its purpose was to become the cinema hall that would be the center of independent filmmaking at a time when young directors were following the unconventional agendas of the time, without disdaining the masterpieces of classical cinema. Thus this now historic hall transcended the narrow confines of a cinema and transformed into a refuge for a generation that questioned established values and found their artistic and political concerns reflected in the full range of STUDIO films. In the years that followed STUDIO did not lose its identity. Amid the crowd of multiplex cinemas, there was always a place for films made by true creators, not just big entertainment hits. Now, 55 years later, the story continues. STUDIO New Star Art Cinema still stands as a space that celebrates the art of film, holding its ground against the large, soulless theaters and blockbusters.
Trianon (Kodrigktonos 21 & Patision, Athens, Metro Victoria)
Since 1960, the cinema has not stopped lighting up – specifically since the night of the premiere of the classical greek movie “Never on Sunday” which marked the beginning of Trianon’s important six-decade career in the field of entertainment. Trianon Cinema was built and founded by Leonidas Papageorgiou Sr., owner of film and theater operating companies and director of the “Orpheus” cinema in 1960. In 1993, Leonidas Papageorgiou’s grandson was in his 6th year of Athens Medicine when he was asked to sign the sale of Trianon immediately after the death of his father, Andreas Papageorgiou. But he never did, and the cinema remained at his family having created a state-of-the-art cinema with a theater stage and infrastructure for complex musical events.

Pangrati – Vyronas – Imittos
Elyze (Nymfeou 12 Ilisia)
The story of Elyze Cinema begins in 1966, when a small neighborhood cinema opened its doors with a mission to cater to a different, ‘marginal’ audience. For nearly two decades, it not only succeeded but also made its mark on Athens’ cinema scene, introducing discerning viewers to alternative genres and filling its halls with the excitement of midnight screenings. It rightfully earned the title of the ‘Temple of Horror”.
As time passed, Elyze evolved. Its stage became a venue for rock bands, and it also hosted theater plays. Now, in 2023, Elyze Cinema is reviving its spirit. The screenings will no longer focus on every new superhero or intergalactic adventure, but instead will highlight films that offer something different—particularly in the thriller and horror genres—to captivate and thrill its audience.
Summer cinemas:

Piraeus & suburbs
Municipal Cinema Cineac (Karaiskou 102, Piraeus, Metro Dimotiko Theatro)
Cineac” (short for “Ciné Actualité”) was the name of the French company that created and operated specialty cinemas during the interwar period. These cinemas focused on news and informative films covering current events, and with television not yet in existence, “Cineac” became immensely popular across Europe. Other companies with similar names emerged, including “Sineak” (as it was called in Greek), which opened in the center of Athens.
However, as television began to dominate as the primary source of information, the production of newsreels declined, and so did “Sineak.” To keep its family audience, the Athens cinema transitioned into a venue for children’s films and cartoons. While the programming shifted, the name remained, and in Greece, “Sineak” eventually became synonymous with children’s films, losing its original connection to newsreels.
In 1971, the Mayor of Piraeus envisioned a cinema for children and families based on the model of the Athenian “Sineak,” located in the “Rex” building. The Piraeus “Sineak” finally opened in February 1974, becoming a popular hangout for children’s movies, including “Mickey Mouse” cartoons, until 1983. Today, “Sineak” remains a modern, digital cinema, retaining its charming aesthetics and delightful décor. It offers the best films in top viewing conditions, always welcoming and friendly, just like a true child of Piraeus.
