Athens sparkles this winter as Technopolis transforms into a dazzling world of light, joy, and Christmas magic! The DEI Christmas Factory is back, bigger and brighter than ever, promising fun for families, visitors, and expats looking to soak up the festive spirit.

Grand Opening Celebration – 22 November
Kick off the holidays with a spectacular start:

• Lighting of the Christmas tree
• Fireworks display
• Live concert by beloved singer Lila (7 pm – 10 pm)

 After the opening, explore a winter wonderland filled with theatre, creative workshops, games, and festive sounds and flavours. This year’s theme, inspired by light and discovery, invites children and the young at heart to “Find Your Star” through imagination and play.
