Ahead of Art Athina 2025, Art Athina Pop Up@InterContinental Athenaeum Athens is launched to enhance the experience. The exhibition aims to serve as an intervention in the city’s cultural map, extending the experience beyond conventional art spaces.

The omnipresence of the polykatoikía (tall apartment building) in the Greek capital is often considered dreary and unartistic. In recent years, however, the polykatoikía has undergone a reappraisal by academics, architects and urban theorists.
Its architectural, social and economic significance has been revisited in the light of historical and contemporary urban contexts.

📚📚The last week of May (26-31 May 2025) is dedicated to little bookstores, the places that keep love for books and reading alive in every neighborhood! With the participation of 130 little bookstores in Greece and Cyprus, Little Bookstores Week brings together once again authors, illustrators and creators with readers of all ages.

Themed “Bookstores without Borders” this year’s Little Bookstores Week highlights the role of #books as a bridge that unites people across geographical, cultural and social borders. In a world divided by borders, stories will continue to travel with even greater power and break down barriers, since they always remind us that we all co-exist in the same narrative. During Little Bookstores Week, children too will travel across borders, with books that unite cultures and bring together young book lovers around the world!

On the occasion of Little Bookstores Week, Reading Greece spoke to Demi Koutsostamati, the woman behind Little Bookstores Week about her venture, the events that will take place during this week, the crucial role that little bookstores play, the challenges they are faced with and the prospects ahead.
