ZÉPHYROS CINEMA, PETRALONA, ATHENS

Every summer, Athenians enjoy watching movies 'under the stars' at one of the Greek capital’s sixty therina sinema (open-air cinemas). The Zéphyros, in Petralona, began life in 1932 and shows mainly art-house films. This summer the program includes Roman Polanski’s Repulsion, Billy Wilder’s The Apartment, Abel Ferrara’s Bad Lieutenant, and Elia Kazan’s East of Eden with James Dean.

Heaven for cineastes.
