Peiraios 260
About

Once an industrial furniture factory, Peiraios 260 in Athens has been reimagined as a dynamic cultural venue and a key site of the Athens Epidaurus Festival. Located in the Tavros district near the Athens School of Fine Arts, the complex showcases striking examples of 1970s industrial architecture, now protected as historic monuments. Since 2006, the site has hosted avant-garde theatre, contemporary dance, and experimental performances, drawing international artists and audiences alike. Its raw, urban aesthetic—marked by steel structures and expansive interiors—offers a versatile backdrop for creative expression. The venue’s transformation reflects Athens’ evolving cultural landscape, where heritage and innovation intersect. Highlights include immersive installations, multilingual productions, and collaborations with leading European festivals. With plans underway to house the Ministry of Culture on-site, Peiraios 260 is poised to become an even more integral part of Greece’s artistic future, embodying the city’s commitment to adaptive reuse and cultural vitality.
