Summer In Athens: Festivals, Al Fresco Dining And Days By The Coast
In summer, Athens bursts into life as the city's outdoor venues transform into stages for a rich calendar of cultural events under the open sky. Athens' vibrant energy and nightlife rise in sync with the temperature each summer, with a jam-packed cultural calendar and a host of events in atmospheric outdoor venues. Base yourself in Psyrri, one of Athens' buzziest neighbourhoods, for exploring the city's thriving arts scene, cooling down with ocean dips in the nearby Athenian Riviera, and sunset cocktails against the Acropolis. In summer, Athens bursts into life as the city's outdoor venues transform into stages for a rich calendar of cultural events under the open sky. These events include the Epidaurus Festival set in the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus (May-August), the Open Air Film Festival (June to August), and contemporary RELEASE music festival (July) featuring London Grammar and Fontaines D.C and set at the Platia Nerou—which literally translates as 'water plaza' for its location right on the sea. Visitors can explore a wealth of beautiful beaches and swimming spots along the Athens coastline, just over 30 minutes' away, including Voula Beach with shallow waters and calm seas, and Vouliagmeni Beach, known for its standout private beaches. For those looking to explore further across the ocean, try day trips to the neighboring Aeolian islands such as Hydra, Poros and Aegina. Tucked away in the energetic Psyrri neighborhood, Monument Hotel Athens is an intimate retreat with nine uniquely designed bedrooms, curated to evoke the feel of a private residence for those in the know. Each room features intricate ceiling murals, limewashed walls, bespoke architectural elements, handcrafted beds, and furnishings from Scandinavian designers such as Gubi and Woud.

Guests can unwind as large doors open onto a sweeping private terrace, complete with a jacuzzi and uninterrupted views of the Acropolis and the historic Agios Dimitrios Church. On Monument's lower ground floor, guests can find a private wellness centre, offering bespoke face and body treatments using locally sourced almond oil infused with Greek natural essential oils. Additionally, guests can book the spa's sauna and hammam for private use. Monument's location provides a gateway to the tavernas, restaurants and bars that line the winding streets of Athens. Situated just around the corner from the hotel, Cinque Wine Bar offers a more relaxed atmosphere, with a range of local and international red and white wines. For a light lunch after a morning spent exploring, Zampano, also in the Psyrri district, attracts a mix of locals, actors rehearsing and performing at theaters nearby, and tourists alike. The food is Greek with a twist, serving dishes including grilled courgettes with goat's cheese and almonds, summer linguini with locally grown vegetables, traditional Moussaka and an array of fresh seafood. On the coast, the glamorous suburb of Glyfada on the Athens Riviera is filled with authentic souvlaki joints, farmers markets, and chic bars sheltered from the sun under rows of parasols, perfect for a refreshing cocktail after a day by the water. On Thursday nights, Amigos, a lively Mexican bar and restaurant in the area, transforms into a full-blown salsa party from 10 pm onwards.

London Grammar's Hannah Reid: 'I'm not rock 'n' roll' and the secret pain of indie pop
Their rise continued, through the release of Truth is a Beautiful Thing (2017) and California Soil (2021), chart-toppers both, and their return last autumn with The Greatest Love. That fourth album, recorded in their own space within Damon Albarn's Studio 13 complex in Notting Hill, pushed them even higher. London Grammar now enjoy more than three million monthly listeners on Spotify and have reached arena-scale success — on their last tour they sold out the O2. Along the way there were multiple support slots with old friends Coldplay, most recently in summer 2022 when they joined the band on their (still ongoing) Music of the Spheres stadium tour.

Woman's Hour London Grammar's Hannah Reid, Women and Trump, Domestic violence
London Grammar frontwoman Hannah Reid joins Nuala McGovern to discuss more than a decade at the helm of the band, their fourth album The Greatest Love, and what it's been like navigating the music industry as a new parent. With US President Donald Trump reaching the 100 day mark of his presidency, who are some of the women in his cabinet? And what impact have those first 100 days had on women's lives in the US? Nuala speaks to Republican Sarah Elliott and Democrat Kristin Kaplan Wolfe to get their thoughts. April, a new film set in the Eastern European country of Georgia, tells the story of Nina, an obstetrician who faces an investigation, after she was unable to save a baby during labour. But the investigation brings scrutiny Nina doesn't want, as she's concerned it will shine a light on her secret job – providing unofficial, illegal abortions and reproductive care to women in poorer villages, in their homes. Writer and director Dea Kulumbegashvili joins Nuala to discuss her story and what it was like to film. Over a quarter of domestic abuse services in England and Wales are having to turn children away from vital support amid severe funding shortages, according to a new report by the Domestic Abuse Commissioner. Children were recognised as victims of domestic abuse in their own right for the first time by 2021's Domestic Abuse Act. Nuala is joined by Nicole Jacobs, the Domestic Abuse Commissioner for England and Wales, to hear more about her report and what she wants to see happen next. Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Sarah Jane Griffiths
