Once known for smog, traffic and tacky architecture, Athens is a city reformed thanks to fortunes brought by the 2004 Summer Olympics. Spotless parks and streets, an ultra-modern subway, new freeways, an accessible airport and all signs in perfect English make the city easily negotiable. Meriting more than a stopover en route to the islands, sophisticated Athens sites include many pillars of Western history, from the Acropolis to the Temple of Olympian Zeus, as well as treasures in the National Archaeological Museum.

APM is conveniently located on the foothills of the Acropolis just 30 meters from the Acropolis metro station, our address Marki 2 just off Dionisiou Aeropagou sreet. With a one-time entrance fee of 10 euro, you can play unlimited games of pinball, to your hearts' content WITHOUT COINS! APM is a feast for the senses, an interactive museum that we know will make you smile. Nostalgia at its finest for those who grew up playing pinball and a delightful introduction to pinball for the younger generations. Athens Pinball Museum awaits you for an experience like no other in Athens!
We spent an entire afternoon (to avoid the rain) here so the entry fee was good value. Most of the machines were working and I think we collectively played over 80 pinball machines! From the 1960s to present day. Friendly staff and a something really unusual. Worth a visit!

I’m an enigma lover & mystery solver, an avid gamer and have studied Ancient Greek language & History. I'm also a hobbyist web-designer. As a child, I used to hide treasures for my friends to unearth, inspiring the thrill of adventure during summer afternoons. Lately, I have developed several treasure hunting projects for summer camps. I have now combined all my talents, knowledge & passion to create an unforgettable Treasure Hunting experience in Athens, the capital of myths and legends.

Cine THISIO is an open air cinema and therefore is not opened in winter . Each year opening date depends largely on weather conditions. Typically, the operation of the cinema begins the last week of April or the first week of May and ends in late October. We don't make reservations and you can't book tickets, because we remain traditional, because the capacity of cinema is very large and because all seats are good . If you arrive about 30 minutes earlier you will buy your tickets in comfort, even in the extremely popular films.
If you have a free evening in Athens, this is a must. It's an outdoor cinema, and you can literally see the Acropolis from your seat. They have two showings each night, at 9 and 11 and if you go on Mon-Wed, the tickets are a little cheaper at €6. It feels like they tend to show the classics - I saw the original Italian Job, which was great! Bear in mind, if you catch the late show, the metro will not be running when you finish!
