The Christmas Village –which will be set up at the plaza directly in front of the Marina’s Event Center and will extend in front of the restaurants until it reaches the fountain– will be launched on Saturday, 9 December, with what organisers have described as a spectacular lighting ceremony of its big Christmas tree at 6.30pm, which will be presented by Antri Karantoni and Kostas Karnakis, followed by an uplifting live appearance by the band OnTour.

Each day at the Christmas Village will be full of festive activities, live acts, seasonal treats and various happenings both for younger and older visitors, that will culminate in the grand concert which will be given by Hovig on 22 December.

So, from 9 December until 30 December, visitors will all have the chance to find themselves in an enchanted world, one that is reminiscent of Europe’s Christmas markets, adorned with countless lights and Christmas ornaments, where they can also visit Santa’s workshop or take photos and exchange hugs with the big teddy bear that will await them on the swing.

And because Christmas is first and foremost a children’s affair, the Christmas Village will give the little ones the chance to enjoy free rides on the carousel and the Ferris wheel, to take photos with Mickey and Minnie Mouse, and of course receive their gifts from Santa Claus himself.
