Experience Christmas Factory

The Christmas Factory transforms Athens' historic Technopolis industrial complex in Gazi into the city's largest and most enchanting festive destination. Celebrating over a decade of holiday magic, this sprawling Christmas wonderland welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors annually to experience a complete "city within a city" inspired by Athens itself. The venue features over 50 shops offering toys, handcrafted gifts, traditional decorations, and Greek sweets, alongside 10 free interactive workshops including face painting, a cinema, pastry-making, garden activities, letter-writing to Santa, music and movement games, painting, and storytelling sessions. Entertainment reaches new heights with a 20-meter Ferris wheel providing panoramic views of illuminated Athens, a classic carousel, ice skating rink, and theatrical performances of beloved Christmas stories. The Christmas Fun Park atmosphere extends throughout the entire Technopolis complex, with dozens of elves creating magical moments, while food stalls satisfy every craving with burgers, hot dogs, souvlaki, pizza, waffles, chocolates, candies, and traditional Greek treats. Special opening ceremonies feature live concerts with major Greek artists, tree lighting celebrations, and fireworks. Whether shopping for unique artisan gifts, enjoying theatrical performances, or simply soaking in the festive atmosphere with family, The Christmas Factory offers an unforgettable Greek Christmas experience. Arrive early on weekends to avoid crowds and maximize time exploring all the workshops and attractions.
