Merry Christmas! Enjoy Christmas festivities in Attica, with a great variety of celebrations, including music concerts, theatrical performances, charity bazaars and a very rich and long nightlife.
Cultural hubs and venues offer many opportunities for recreation and entertainment for visitors of all ages and tastes. Make sure you try local flavors and especially “melomakarona” (a honey cookie sprinkled with chopped walnuts and just a pinch of cinnamon and clove) and “kourabiedes” (made with flour, almonds, fresh butter, rosewater and icing sugar).

Many squares in Athens, in Piraeus, and many suburbs of Attica are turned into holiday playgrounds for kids. Athens's museums organize special activities and events for children, and ice rinks are set up all around Attica.

Keep in mind that Christmas Day is a public holiday, and many businesses, including shops and restaurants, may close or operate on a limited schedule. Plan accordingly and check local events to make the most of your day in Attica.
