The National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMST) located in the heart of Athens will be fully operational next year, its director Katerina Koskina recently announced at a press conference.

Construction on the former 1950s brewery to transform it into an 18,142m2 museum space started some 11 years ago. The legal procedures however have still not been completed, resulting in its losing a significant grant by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) and being unable to open fully to the public. But now, the museum’s regulatory framework is in place with 58 employees and all debts settled. That means that it can re-apply for the SNF donation and the museum can be put into full operation.

The tireless Mediterranean sun doesn’t stop to rest even in winter. In Greece, the light warms up the landscapes, people and the chilliest spirit even on the frostiest days of winter. These clear bright days are so beautiful that the Greeks call them ‘the joy of God.’

Discover Greece shares the best destinations to experience winter in Greece, as well as tips to make your winter holiday extra special. From ski resorts to archaeological sites, Greece is still a magical country to visit in the winter months.

During your winter holidays in Greece, wear your warmest clothes and visit one or several of the many winter destinations you’ll find on the map – the famous mountain villages in the north or the Peloponnese.
