Epicourios Apollon concert 2026: an August evening worth experiencing

OR Epicurean Apollo concert 2026 gives us another very good reason to climb up to Vasses this August. And between us, when you have one of the most important ancient temples in Greece a few kilometers from Andritsaina and such a musical evening is organized there, it's one of those times you say: We're not losing this!

The Thursday, August 20, 2026, at 9:00 PM, Babis Tsertos and Nadia Karagianni come to the Temple of Apollo Epicurius in Vassa for a special evening dedicated to the memory of Simon Karas.

And the best part?; Admission is free.

Babis Tsertos and Nadia Karagianni in Vasses

For those who love traditional, rebetiko and good old Greek songs, they probably don't need many introductions.

THE Babis Tsertos has served rebetiko, folk and traditional songs for decades, while the Nadia Karagianni It moves with equal ease between demotic, island, rebetiko and folk.

But even if this type of music isn't first on your playlist, there's something about this particular night that hardly fits into a simple "concert" description.

Because it's one thing to listen to music in a room and another to be there August, evening, on the mountain, next to Apollo Epicurius.

Concert at the Epicurean Apollo – and that alone is enough!

Those of you who have visited Vassa already know that Epicurius Apollon has a completely different atmosphere than what one expects before arriving there.

It is located in the Arcadian landscape, at an altitude of over 1,100 meters, far from the noise and lights of the cities. And this isolation is part of its magic.

Now imagine the same landscape an August evening, with music.

We think it's worth living.

And especially those of you who are in these days in Andritsaina and the surrounding villages, save the date. It's a great opportunity to spend a different summer evening in our country.

And a little advice from us: Don't be fooled by August. In Vassas, there can be a noticeable temperature difference at night compared to the lower points in the area, so a light coat in the car is not a bad idea at all.

We, however, August 20th We keep it.

Because summer in our region is not just about swimming and vacations. It is also these evenings that remind us of how special the place we are in is.

See you in Vasses! ❤️
