Athens is marking Easter with a full city program that moves from neighborhood workshops and museum camps to choral concerts, family activities, library events, and acts of public solidarity.
As Mayor Haris Doukas noted, the aim is to make this year’s celebration one of creativity, music, and Easter celebration across every part of the city, with free cultural programming for children and adults alongside support for families in need and the city’s Easter meal for poor and homeless residents.
