Accessibility

Athens Pride continues to strive for equal participation in its events by improving conditions for an equally enjoyable experience for all. Despite current adversities, Athens Pride has rebooted, redefining its structure and reasserting its presence in the public space to improve the visibility, support and promotion of the rights of the Greek LGBTQI+ community.

This year’s festival will run from June 10 to 18, with events throughout the city, culminating in Syntagma Square for the main event and Parade on Saturday, June 18, 2022.

Accessibility & Athens Pride Events

Most Athens Pride events are organized by independent groups, which are solely responsible for the accessibility of their venues. Accessibility information for each event is available on our website, as supplied to us by the individual teams.

If you need assistance of any kind, just ask an Athens Pride volunteer. Look for the pink T-shirts!
