The Municipality of Athens, in collaboration with Greenpeace and Aqualife, celebrates World Water Day on Saturday, March 22, 2025, from 10:00 – 14:00, at Korai Square.
The events will begin with the inauguration of a new public refill point for reusable water bottles by the Mayor of Athens, Haris Doukas. This will be followed by artistic and interactive activities for the public.
The initiative is part of a broader effort to install more public taps in Athens, enabling residents and visitors to have free access to clean and drinkable water. It is part of the “Meet the Taps” campaign that promotes sustainable water management while reducing the need for single-use plastics.
This is a new water supply station in Korai Square accessible to everyone. It has a bottle-filling system with a jet, a water bowl for animals and meets the requirements of the disabled.
In detail, the actions that will take place:
Live Graffiti Act by Soteur (10:00 – 13:00)
