Candlelight Concerts in Athens 2026

Candlelit Performances in Historic Athens

Neoclassical halls and historic interiors give the format a natural home, and a Candlelight concert in Athens generally means a small acoustic ensemble, close seating, and a room lit only by candles.

Among the locations are the Μέγαρο της Παλαιάς Βουλής on Stadiou Street, a 19th-century parliament building with a formal main hall, and the Parnassos Literary Society near Plateia Karytsi, whose compact period auditorium suits unamplified playing.
