4 Best Performing Arts in The Cyclades, Greece

Bazeos Tower

This 17th-century stonework tower, considered one of Naxos's most beautiful Venetian-era monuments, dominates the landscape as you approach the center of the island by car heading from Naxos Town. It has been renovated as a museum and a cultural space where a full calendar of exhibitions, concerts, and educational seminars take place every summer.

Ifestia

On the third weekend of every September, Santorini celebrates the volcanic eruption that changed the landscape of the island back in the second millennium BC. A series of concerts, exhibitions, and cultural events culminates in a spectacular fireworks show in the caldera, re-enacting the explosions and lava flow.

The Aegean Center for the Fine Arts

A small American arts college, the Aegean Center for the Fine Arts hosts readings, concerts, lectures, and exhibitions in its splendidly restored neoclassical mansion. Since 1966 the center has offered courses (two three-month semesters as well as intensive summer workshops) in writing, painting, art history, photography, and classical voice training.
