Join us in Athens for a special evening celebrating Thanksgiving — a tradition of gratitude, friendship, good food and togetherness!

Inspired by the American holiday, this gathering is an opportunity to enjoy a festive dinner, discover (or rediscover) Thanksgiving traditions, and share a memorable evening with friends, old and new.

There is also a fascinating connection to our Greek heritage. Long before Thanksgiving became an American tradition, ancient Greeks celebrated the Thesmophoria, an autumn festival honouring Demeter and Persephone, associated with the fertility of the earth, agricultural abundance and the cycle of life.

Although very different in their rituals and traditions, both celebrations reflect something deeply human: gratitude for the gifts of the earth, the importance of food and the joy of coming together.

Whether you grew up celebrating Thanksgiving, are an American living in Athens, or simply want to experience this lovely tradition, you are warmly invited!

Because Thanksgiving is not just about what's on the table, but also about who's around it!

Come hungry, bring your good spirits, and let's give thanks together in Athens!
