During the event, the Queen of the Patra Carnival and a group of carnivalists dressed in various costumes, will entertain the airport’s passengers and visitors with their festive mood and sweet treats.

The Patra Carnival is Greece’s largest and oldest carnival celebration. This year’s theme is dedicated to happiness.

The events will take place at AIA’s departures level – entrance 3, on February 21, from 12am to 4pm.

“Fly me to the Moon” is a joint initiative of Athens International Airport and the elculture cultural platform which takes place for the sixth consecutive year.
