When we come to music festivals, we want an experience that brings us closer than ever to the music and culture we’re encountering. One where the artists and the audience blend into one, and ideas can be exchanged in an open, engaging manner. Since our beginning in 2010, Plisskën Festival has sought to establish just that, right here in the birthplace of creativity: Athens, Greece. And each year, we only look to improve what we can.
So we were excited to receive the latest recognition: Plisskën was named one of Europe’s 33 Best Intimate Festivals!
Flightnetwork, Europe’s leading travel agency, ranked our festival as a must-see for those looking for that close connection to the artists and performers present. Here’s what they had to say about us:
“Athens is one of the most famous cities in world history. The capital of the ancient Greek empire, it is a living artifact of our past, with temples and public spaces still perfectly preserved for that time. But many people do not know that Athens also has an incredible festival scene, and one of its best hidden gems is the Plisskën Festival. This two-day event at the end of the year is for the experimental-leaning—artists that are blurring genres and creating new sounds are welcomed here, as the festival seeks to create a community that will appreciate and encourage those knocking down walls in music. All in the heart of where creative thought and philosophy got serious.”
This upcoming December, we cannot wait to welcome everyone back to Athens for an experience like no other—and that includes any Flightnetwork readers. In the meantime, be sure to check out Flightnetwork’s Facebook and Twitter.
