Housed in an eye-catching piece of architecture that livens up the dull urbanity of Leoforos Syngrou, this visual- and performing-arts centre is well worth a visit. Cloaked in a striped cage of white marble, the building glows at night when it hosts big-name productions, installations and lectures. Check the schedule for free events.

　　It's 1.5km southwest of the Sygrou-Fix metro station. In the same building is the excellent contemporary Greek restaurant Hytra.
