About Eugenides Foundation Planetarium
The Eugenides Foundation opened Greece’s first planetarium in 1966; its New Digital Planetarium followed in November 2003, a 945 m² amphitheatre of 278 seats beneath a 24.5-metre hemispherical dome. The programme changes through the year, from star journeys through the Milky Way and the myths of the night sky to gentler animated shows for younger children. The original Carl Zeiss projector now stands at the entrance, and the Foundation’s interactive Science and Technology Center makes an easy pairing on the same visit. Our advice: check the show schedule and buy tickets on the Foundation’s site, and use the public entrance on Pentelis Street.
