August's full moon will shine on the 15th, and the Ministry of Culture and Sports will offer to the public the opportunity to enjoy a summer night under the silver light of the moon in the country's archaeological sights, monuments and museums.
The country's 97 archaeological sites, monuments and museums will remain open for the public to enjoy the brightest moon of the summer and 48 of them will host events,
mainly music concerts.
So, if you find yourself in Athens and not in an island, you can perfectly combine a day tour at the magnificent Acropolis and the main archaeological sites around and then when you will finish at approximately 19:00, start a romantic walk in the old city center of Athens. Enjoy the moon shining marbles while listening to smooth music!
The 15th of August is also very significant for the Greeks, since it is the greatest celebration of Virgin Mary.
From the capital, Athens, till the smallest village of Greece, people host special events, connencted to religion,
which are followed by the popular ''panigiria''.
A Panigiri is a centuries old traditional festival organized during the summer months. The festival is not only about chanting and praying, but also music, plenty food and local wine, the three key elements that make a Panigiri successful.
The festival is an occasion to get young and old people together, to meet locals, to dance, to talk, to drink and eat, to feast.
Fantastic Experience We booked tours with a couple of tour companies but Skip the Line Acropolis of Athens and New Acropolis Museum Tour with Athen Walking Tours was our favorite.
