The 3rd Little Paris of Athens multi-festival, that kicked off on Thursday, includes music, photo exhibits, street painting, cafe theater, lectures and more! It runs through to October 18 at various venues around the Athens center. The venues where the event takes place are loctaed on streets with French names.

The initiative kicked off in order to promote culture and art in underprivileged areas, but has grown rapidly. Over its 10-day run there will be more than 500 artists presenting their works from Greece and abroad.

This year’s festival, titled “Bistrot et Cafe Culture”, focuses on creativity and expression that grows from the philosophical topics of discussions often started at cafes and bistros.
