Eugenides Digital Planetarium Athens

Across the universe

Dimitris from Athens

"The "Eugenides Digital Planetarium" (est. 2003) in Athens is a fantastic place to get to enjoy an educational spectacle! I have so many memories from here."

One of the things I used to do with my dad when I was little was go to the planetarium. Most of the pop science narration flew right over my tiny head but the feeling of looking at the old-school dome, filled with stars and cute little wandering planets (a Greek word which literally means wanderers, as the ancient Greeks called them, because, contrary to the rest of the stars, they slowly moved across the sky throughout the year) has stayed with me to this day. In fact, today I can safely say that some of the groundwork for my big love for the sky was laid there, in the old planetarium in Athens, before it was converted into the Eugenides Digital Planetarium.

Since its opening in 2003, the modern digital dome has been a must for anyone with even a passing interest in astronomy, the sciences or audiovisual stimulation.

New films with themes ranging from space junk to the evolution of life on earth to trips around the solar system come out every few months so there's always something new on show. Unfortunately, most shows are offered only in Greek dubs and narration but I suggest that you do not let that stop you.

Bus lines 550 and B2 can get you there from the centre of the city. Stop ΕΥΓΕΝΙΔΕΙΟ (Evgenidio) -- really close to the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center.

Athens Spotter Dimitris

About Me Hi! I'm Dimitris Hall. I've been an Athens Spotter since 2013 and have worked with Spotted by Locals as the site's editor, social media and content manager since early 2017. I was born a few months before the fall of the Berlin Wall and grew up in Nea Smyrni (New Izmir), a suburb of Athens that a century ago didn't even exist as a concept. I’m a μισός-μισός, a “half-and-half”, my constituent parts being Greek and Australian, which honestly doesn’t sound quite right, since the last time I was in Australia was more than 15 years ago, and that just for holidays. I woul...

Mets

Athens most charming neighbourhood

Many artists, musicians, actors, and painters have relocated to Mets, giving it a more bohemian feel. There are only a handful of shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants in the area, a fact that creates a more intimate and cosy atmosphere.

Buho Bruncherie

The ideal place for brunch

The unique pancakes at Buho (sweet and savory) are in my opinion, the best I have tried in the city and the menu has enough options to satisfy all tastes.
