Oneiroupoli (City of Dreams) is a Christmas celebration that has captured the attention of all Greece and made Drama an attractive destination for the Christmas holidays.

Schools from all over northern Greece visit Oneiroupoli during the Christmas holidays. The multi-day programmes in Oneiroupoli–Drama also include concerts, folk dancing, martial arts demonstrations and theatrical performances.

Arrival in Drama, a lively city with a long and rich history. It is literally built on water. The clear springs of the Agia Varvara River form a wonderful park in the heart of Drama, ranked among Europe’s 60 best natural parks under the Culture 2000 programme. Free time to explore Drama. Visit to the Christmas market called Oneiroupoli, established as the largest Christmas event in Greece. Small, charming houses reminiscent of the homes of favourite fairy-tale characters stand side by side, glowing with colourful Christmas garlands and magical lights. Shows, music, dancing, songs, theatrical productions, exhibitions, surprises for children and various interactive activities... It is hard to imagine another little town’s streets brimming with so much choice and Christmas cheer!
