SYMPOSION CULTURAL CENTER | Music - Art- Mythology

We attended a fine concert that we won't ever forget. The environment was warm and pleasant. The next we did Yannis' music workshop which transcended the usual reality. He went deep into Greek mythology with great intricacies. We even made music together. A most recommendable place for music lovers.

We took a one day tour which included a stop at the Santorini Cultural Center. The tour guide told us for many tourists this was the best stop and we agree! Once entering we had refreshments in their outdoor cafe. Great selections and at very good prices. Next we were lead into the museum and concert room. The decor and displays of ancient musical instruments were a privilege to see. Mr. Yannis Pantazis and his wife were awesome hosts sharing many historical facts and stories regarding Greek music, instruments, and mythology. Mr Pantazis played many instruments for us including a greek bagpipe! We also got to participate and play along and make beautiful music with him which was the highlight of the experience. This was an unforgettable experience and we highly recommend you make an effort to make the Santorini Cultural Center one of the places you visit! Thank you Mr and Mrs Pantazis for the great memories!

Unforgettable experience!! We attended the Mythical Music Presentation & Historical Tour. The venue, the drinks, the music -- everything was incredible. Argy and Yannis have so much knowledge, it was so interesting to hear their stories. Highly recommend if you're in Santorini.

Amazing experience! Very talented musicians! Playing songs dating back before Christ! The atmosphere was beautiful and the setting was divine! Full of culture and emotions! Would highly recommend! Thank you for such a beautiful experience

Really interesting display of Greek musical instruments and workshop to make your own flute, they also run folk mystic sessions although we were unable to stay for that. Refreshments and food available in their beautiful courtyard.

We visited the Symposion Cultural centre as part of an all day tour of Santorini. It was an additional cost, as you had the option to not participate. So glad we went in. It was interactive, every person was given a musical instrument to partake in creating music. The history lesson/Greek mythology given behind some of the ancient instruments and linking it to current/modern day items was fascinating. The history of the site to what it has currently been developed into was also amazing. Highly recommend this experience.

Amazing hidden gem. Beautiful setting, surrounded by pomegranate trees and garden. Our drinks were brought out on a special tray. The display in the centre is beautiful

A must experience while visiting Santorini! We weren't expecting too much, just wanting to be exposed to a taste of Greek cultural history. This experience far exceeded anything we could have imagined. Yannis took us through a magical journey of beautiful, expressive music mixed with a history of Greek Mythology and culture. It is one of the most enlightening and moving experiences we have had in our lifetime. Yannis is so creative and expressive in his musical presentation. He and his wife Argy are also very kind and considerate. They made you feel part of their family. Do not miss this beautiful gem!
