Cocktail Festival | Athens | May 26 – June 10
Shaken, stirred, classic, kooky, creative or gastronomic, the Athens Cocktail Festival (www.athenscocktailfestival.com) aims to please fans of the great art of the cocktail. The event opens officially with a party in the garden of the Association of Greek Archaeologists in Thiseio on May 27 and culminates at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center on June 9 and 10. In the meantime, though, bartenders and mixologists at bars across the city will be exhibiting their skills for Athens Cocktail Week, running from May 26 to June 4.
