""Genesis Gallery" Athens is an art gallery that challenges the modern skeptics and presents local and international artists who display new forms of art..."

One of the things that I really enjoy doing is coming up with the interpretation of a word by examining its origins. Well, online dictionaries defines Genesis as the "origin, creation, or beginning" of something or anything.

Nevertheless, some claim that in contemporary art there is no such thing as Genesis and every new piece of art is the outcome of a copying process producing replicas of earlier artworks. However, the Genesis gallery in the centre of Athens challenges the modern skeptics and presents local and international artists who grapple with new forms of art by using a wide range of media. Emerging artists from around Europe are introduced to the Greek audience, resulting in the transformation of the gallery into a blooming field of new ideas and methods.

So, if you have any objections about whether or not there is original artistic production in the art scene in Athens, pop by Genesis gallery and an enlightening surprise might be waiting for you!

House with Caryatids

An urban legend

The house is known for the two wonderful Caryatid sculptures located on the balcony of its facade. The house was built in the late 19th century and is a typical example of Athenian neoclassicism.

Zaharias Records

A music lovers' paradise

Agios Ioannis of the Column

A hidden gem

Agios Ioannis of the Column is one of the most interesting hidden attractions in the center of Athens. The church was built in the 6th century AD, and its sanctuary was formed around an ancient Corinthian column.

Louka Nika Street

A street art gallery

Street art has developed mainly in large urban centres, and Athens is no exception. The Psirri neighbourhood in the city centre is inextricably linked to the history of street art in Athens.

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.
