About
PyCon Greece 2026 is the second edition of Greece's national Python conference, organised by PyGreece, a volunteer team that has grown into one of Europe's larger volunteer-led Python communities. It gathers professional Python developers, data practitioners, students and newcomers to the language from Greece and the wider region. The conference takes place on 12 and 13 October 2026 at Technopolis City of Athens, the former gasworks turned cultural complex in the Gazi district. The two-day programme combines talks, workshops, tutorials and networking, with announced themes spanning web development, data science, machine learning and AI. Around the main programme, organisers have planned an algorithmic art exhibition, community meetups, a PyLadies lunch, astronomy activities and access to a Hellenic IT Museum exhibition on the history of AI, and tickets are priced at student, standard and supporter tiers. Attendees gain a compact but broad view of the Python ecosystem, direct contact with the people building the Greek community and a setting that places the technical programme within the city's cultural life. For Python in Greece, PyCon Greece is the annual event that turns a dispersed meetup scene into a national community.

Planning your trip to Athens
Contains sponsored linksPyCon Greece runs over two days in mid-October, when Athens has shed its summer furnace but still enjoys long, warm afternoons in the low twenties Celsius and a sea that remains swimmable along the Riviera. For Python developers this is a rewarding season to explore: the queues at the Acropolis are shorter, café terraces in Plaka and Koukaki stay busy late, and rooftop bars frame the floodlit Parthenon after dark. Brief autumn showers are possible, so a light layer helps.
Getting there & around
Athens International Airport (ATH), also called Eleftherios Venizelos, lies about 30 km east of the city. The metro runs directly from the terminal to Syntagma in the centre in roughly 40 minutes, and the Proastiakos suburban railway links the airport with other parts of Attica. Express buses run around the clock, which helps for late arrivals. Taxis charge a fixed fare to the centre and take 35–50 minutes, longer in weekday traffic.
Skip the taxi queue — pre-book a fixed-price airport transfer with Welcome Pickups. Exploring beyond the city? compare rental cars on EconomyBookings.
Staying connected
Free Wi-Fi is common in Athens cafés and hotels, but mobile data is far more dependable when navigating the metro and archaeological sites. Visitors from outside the EU in particular will find an eSIM a simpler route than local roaming. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
After the sessions
Acropolis and Parthenon. Book a timed ticket online and aim for the first entry slot to avoid both heat and tour groups. Allow two hours for the Parthenon, Erechtheion and Propylaea, and wear shoes with grip, as the marble is polished smooth. The south slope path passes the Theatre of Dionysus on the way up. Tickets on Tiqets →
Acropolis Museum. Just below the rock, this modern museum displays the original Caryatids and a glass-walled gallery aligned with the Parthenon's frieze. Two hours is a comfortable visit, and the café terrace offers one of the best Acropolis views in the city. It pairs naturally with a morning on the hill. Tickets on Tiqets →
National Archaeological Museum. Greece's largest museum holds the gold Mask of Agamemnon, bronze statues recovered from shipwrecks and the Antikythera Mechanism, an ancient geared device that will fascinate any engineer. Plan at least two to three hours. It sits north of Omonia, a short walk or metro ride from the centre. Tickets on Tiqets →
Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion. About 70 km along the coast road, the marble temple perches above the Aegean and is famous for sunsets. Half-day tours leave from central Athens, or you can rent a car and stop at beaches on the way. Allow four to five hours including the drive, and check sunset timing for mid-October. Tickets on Tiqets →
Good to know
Is October a good time to swim near Athens?
Yes, sea temperatures usually remain pleasant in mid-October, and beaches along the Athens Riviera are reachable by tram or bus from the centre.
Do I need a car in Athens?
No, the metro, tram and buses cover the city and the airport well, and central districts are very walkable. A car only helps for coastal day trips such as Cape Sounion.
Which visa rules apply to Greece?
Greece is part of the Schengen Area, so standard Schengen entry rules apply. Check your nationality's requirements and whether the EU's new entry registration applies before travelling.
