STAVROS NIARCHOS FOUNDATION CULTURAL CENTER, Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center

Hi, my name’s Marcy, and I’m your personal guide. Along with MyWoWo, I’d like to welcome you to one of the Wonders of the World: the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, one of the most innovative, modern places in Athens, donated to the people by the foundation set up by the tycoon of the same name.

Built on a design by the Italian architect Renzo Piano and inaugurated in 2016, the Center is located 4 kilometers from the center of Athens, in a large green area measuring 170,000 square meters and comprising the National Library and the National Opera.

I suggest you make your way in through the entrance at the intersection of Evripidou Street and Diranis Street, so you can immediately enjoy a striking view of the building, which is at the end of a long, narrow waterway on your right.

Along this canal, you can see small sailboats used for giving children sailing lessons....
