2023 Eleusis European Capital of Culture, in collaboration with the Photographic Club of Elefsina, organizes, from November 9 (opening at 20:00) to December 18, the action Mystery_24 Anatomy of a Transformation, at the Leonidas Kanellopoulos Cultural Center.

The city of Elefsina introduces itself to the general public with the Exhibition Mystery 29_Eleusis at the Benaki Museum / 138 Pireos Str. An emblematic project that serves as a precursor to the programme of 2023 Eleusis European Capital of Culture, co-organized with the Benaki Museum, about the visible and invisible history of Elefsina.

October in Elefsina will be a month filled with theater, visual arts, interdisciplinary art projects under the light of the full moon, educational programmes for our younger visitors and open calls to artistic projects. 2023 Eleusis European Capital of Culture organizes a rich programme of events, open to all ages, while simultaneously inaugurating a major Exhibition on Elefsina at the Benaki Museum / 138 Pireos Str.

Tourism is one of the fundamental themes of the competition for the European capital of culture because the title undoubtedly allows cities to be highly visible. And, in our opinion, it is no coincidence that 4 ecoc out of 7 cities have entered the short list to become the European capital of Smart tourism for 2023.
