Κινηματογράφος Ολύμπιον

Κινηματογράφος Ολύμπιον is a movie theater located at Aristotelous Square in central Thessaloniki, featuring two modernized screening halls and offices of the Thessaloniki Film Festival. The building includes two cafes on the premises that overlook the Thermaikos Gulf waterfront.

The building opened as a traditional cinema in the 1920s and later became the main venue of the Thessaloniki Film Festival. This transformation established it as a central hub for film production and exhibition in northern Greece.

The cinema shows international films and hosts the festival office, bringing together audiences interested in art house productions and world cinema. It functions as a social meeting point where people gather to experience stories from different countries and perspectives.

The venue sits directly on Aristotelous Square with two screening halls and cafes for visitors to relax between films. The waterfront location makes it easily accessible and provides pleasant spaces to spend time before or after screenings.

The two screening halls are named Olympion and Pavlos Zannas, each operating as a separate program space within the same building. This setup allows the venue to present different types of films simultaneously throughout the day.
