Historical data
AN ART ARTISTRY is located in the historic district of Plaka (Athens – Greece). Plaka is the oldest district of Athens with a centuries – old history. Starting from ancient times, passing the Byzantine era and the years of Ottoman rule, reaches the beautiful and romantic years of so – called “Belle Époque”, to come in today. This area of Old Athens, below the Parthenon and Acropolis, still retains the charm of the past. Maybe that’s why still attracts the visitors of Plaka to walk “uphill Plaka”.
We operate in a renovated historic building that was a meeting place of great personalities of the Greek Spirit and Art as the painter Andreas Kristallis, the actor Emilios Veakis, the soprano Alexandra Trianti, the poet Kostas Varnalis. Apart from the rare architectural and decorative elements, such as they were rescued by the end of the 19th century, our goal is to preserve and even rekindle a spark from the flame of the spirit of such personalities.
