Avra Great Sunday Club: The Year’s Most Festive Cocktail Event on the Athenian Riviera

—

in

This festive edition of Great Sunday Club brings together two powerhouses of Greece’s modern bar scene: Avra Bar and Line Athens, ranked No. 8 among the World’s 50 Best Bars. Their collaboration is amplified by Save Your Hood, a grassroots organization dedicated to revitalizing neighborhoods through cleanups, repairs, plantings, and volunteer-driven initiatives across Greece and Cyprus. Part of the event’s proceeds will support this impactful movement, reinforcing community bonds and environmental stewardship. Set against the stunning backdrop of Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens—ranked No. 17 among the World’s 50 Best Hotels—the evening promises a perfect balance of elegance and relaxation, enhanced by live DJ sets and a strong sense of community.

The partnership with Save Your Hood is not symbolic but foundational. In an era where sustainability often feels overused, this event gives it tangible meaning. As Avra’s Bar Manager Nikos Tachmazis explains, “Our collaboration with Line Bar for the final, celebratory Great Sunday Club of 2025 blends creativity with contribution. We’ve crafted cocktails and an experience to celebrate the major international accolades earned this year by both Line and Four Seasons Athens. This is a celebration rooted in giving back—bringing people together to support Save Your Hood and make Athens even brighter and more beautiful.”

At the heart of the night are six exclusive cocktails born from the synergy between the two bars. Line, co-founded by award-winning bartender Vasilis Kyritsis, champions circular economy principles—producing in-house fruit wines, beers, and ferments while repurposing production waste into new creations. This eco-conscious philosophy aligns seamlessly with Avra’s garden-to-glass approach, creating a unique fusion of innovation, sustainability, and celebration.
