What's on in Athens this week

Finding what's on in Athens when you don't read Greek

Questions about events in Athens

What is there to do in Athens this week?

Palaner is showing 24 events on in Athens right now, pulled from every listings site, ticket seller and promoter newsletter we can reach for Greece. The list is ranked, not alphabetical: tell Palaner what you like and the order changes.

Is this a list of the usual tourist attractions?

No. Palaner only shows things that are actually happening on a date — gigs, club nights, markets, talks, socials, screenings, food events. Permanent attractions don't appear, because they aren't events.

Does it work if I don't speak Greek?

Yes, and that is most of the point. A lot of what is on in Athens is only ever posted in Greek — on local listings sites, promoter pages and mailing lists that don't have an English version. Palaner reads those sources and shows you the results in English.

I'm only in Athens for a few days. Is that useful?

That's the case it's built for. Say how long you're around and what you're into, and Palaner narrows 24 events down to the handful worth your evenings — with the reason it picked each one, so you can disagree with it.

Does Palaner cost anything?

No. It's free in any browser, and it isn't a ticket seller — it links out to wherever the event is actually sold.
