Tip of the day 1/5/2023 – Athens Urban Picnic @ Plato’s Academy Park

• May 1, 2023

May, the last month of spring before summer, is here! Today is the day that Athens City Festival starts with an urban picnic in Platonos Academy!

The Athens Urban Picnic launches the Athens City Festival. Located in the Park at Plato’s Academy, this is one of the most historic but less explored neighborhoods of Athens that will soon start playing a big role in the Athens scene when it becomes home to a revived archaeological site and the innovative new Museum of the City of Athens.

Celebrate May Day as summer triumphs over winter. The picnic brings a full day of fun for residents and visitors, including fun activities, educational workshops, shows for children, live concerts and music from local radio favorites HiT 88.9, Enlefko 87.7, and RED 96.3.

Spend an unforgettable May Day with Athens in bloom!

Take your picnic blanket and basket and enjoy spring in Athens!

But for both suggestions, or whatever you decide to do today, have in mind that there is a strike in Athens Transort, so there is no metro and tram at all, and only buses and trolleys are moving between 09.00 to 21.00. As for tomorrow, Monday, 2nd, all the transport moves, but with its Sunday’s routes, this means that it wouldn’t be so often.
