Maria Farantouri and Manolis Mitsias come to the historic temple of Apollo Epicurius, a short walk from Andritsaina
The Epicurean Apollo 2026 concert is expected to be one of the most special cultural evenings of this summer in the Peloponnese.
There are some places that are difficult to describe in words.
You see them, you feel them, and they stay inside you forever.
THE Temple of Apollo Epicurus it's definitely one of them.
And this summer, the UNESCO world monument is preparing to once again fill with music and people under the light of the full moon, on a night that is expected to be truly special.
On July 29, 2026, the Maria Farantouri and the Manolis Mitsias will appear at the Epicurean Apollo, continuing a beautiful cultural tradition that now seems to be gaining a special momentum in the region.
Those who attended the Mikis Theodorakis tribute concert last year already know the atmosphere that is created up there on the mountain when the moonlight falls. The tranquility of the landscape, the energy of the temple and the music create something that is difficult to explain unless you experience it firsthand.
And perhaps that is what makes Epicurus so special.
It is not just an important archaeological site.
It is not only a UNESCO monument.
It is a place that manages to combine history, nature, culture and emotion in a unique way.
In recent years, more and more attention has been turned back to the region of Andritsaina. New restoration projects, UNESCO management plans and cultural actions show that Epicurius Apollo is beginning to regain the place it deserves on the cultural map of Greece.
And honestly, this makes us very happy.
Because we believe that there are still places that can develop without losing their soul. Places that can welcome visitors without losing their authenticity.
Andritsaina and Epicurean Apollo are exactly that.
So if you find yourself in the area at the end of July, this night is really worth experiencing. Climb up to the temple, stand under the full moon and feel for a moment that time moves differently up there.
And who knows...
Perhaps Apollo himself finally decided to draw attention to his mountain again.
creates an experience that is difficult to find elsewhere in Greece.
Many visitors now choose to combine a visit to Apollo Epicurius with excursions to the Andritsaina, the Neda, the Ancient Olympia and the traditional villages of the mountainous Peloponnese.
