Discover the connection between the twelve Olympian gods, ancient perfumery and Greek wine in the atmospheric Ancient Room of Ancient Symposium.
Select the Olympian deity whose character and symbols speak to you—from wise Athena and radiant Aphrodite to spirited Dionysus. Guided by their sacred botanicals, you will blend natural ingredients to create your own solid perfume.
While your perfume sets, enjoy Greek wine served in a kylix, accompanied by small tastes inspired by the ancient Greek diet. Discover the history of Greek winemaking among amphorae, the throne of King Minos and the symposium couch.
This immersive experience brings mythology, creativity, aroma and taste together—an original choice for visitors looking for something truly different in Athens.
