AVRA Announces the Return of The Great Sunday Pool Club at Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens

AVRA announces the much-anticipated return of The Great Sunday Pool Club, celebrating the spirit of endless summer at Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens. This exclusive, one-night-only pool party will take place on Sunday, September 14, 2025 and features a special collaboration with five of Greece’s most respected cocktail bars: Gorilla from Thessaloniki, 7 Jokers, The Bar in Front of the Bar, The Clumsies, and AVRA.

Each bar will feature one signature cocktail crafted with a chosen spirit, reflecting its distinctive identity and style. This curated event offers local and hotel guests, industry professionals, and cocktail enthusiasts a unique opportunity to engage directly with the country’s top-tier bartenders all within a dynamic, high-impact setting.

To complement the drinks, Helios, the vibrant Latin-American restaurant by the pool, will be serving complimentary tacos and tortillas throughout the evening. All this alongside an epic music lineup: DJ Andy S kicks things off at 6:30 pm, setting the vibe until 8:00 pm, followed by Christos Sotiropoulos taking over the decks until 10:30 pm, all part of an unforgettable night at The Great Sunday Pool Club.

• Gorilla from Thessaloniki - A neighbourhood favourite in Valaoritou, Gorilla brings bold flavours, sharp technique, and a laid-back attitude. Their featured cocktail, made with Mataora Gin, delivers their signature high-energy approach.
• 7 Jokers - An enduring late-night institution with a cult following, 7 Jokers blends rock ‘n’ roll spirit with refined bartending. Their serve, based on Calle 23 Tequila, balances classic structure with casual charm.
• The Bar in Front of the Bar - Known for its minimalist interiors and conceptual drinks, this bar represents the modern face of Athens mixology. Their cocktail, featuring Grapes and Rocks, reflects their disciplined, ingredient-led style.
