Ancient glory and contemporary culture intertwine to make Syggrou Avenue the new cultural artery of the city.
It is home to the National Museum of Contemporary Art which houses an impressive collection of modern Greek art, the avant-garde Onassis Cultural Centre, the upgraded Planetarium of the Eugenides Foundation, and the sprawling Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center which hosts the National Opera and the National Library.
Syggrou Avenue not only links the city center with the sea, it is the epicenter of cultural activity.
