Greece in recent years has made a big step and has managed to count several Christmas theme parks in various areas either by private individuals or with the help of the local authority.
6 Christmas parks that we have singled out
And in this article we will tell you about some of these Christmas parks that we have singled out, none of which are located in Athens and Thessaloniki.
1 The Mill of the Elves, in Trikala
The Elves’ Mill is currently, without any doubt, a Christmas park of European standards. And it is certainly the most famous one in Greece at the moment.

Also for this year, visitors will have the chance to visit the Christmas ornaments museum, where objects and ornaments from the late 19th to the mid-20th century will be on display, not only from Greece, but also from the rest of the world.
Of course, there will be no lack of Christmas houses that make sure no one goes hungry. We will taste several kinds of street food from Greece and Europe, enjoy mulled wine, spend endless hours in the chocolate factory and board the candy express to travel through the world of sweets.

3 Like a fairy tale…, in Soufli Evros
We would like to be in one of the most beautiful Christmas parks in Greece this year. And of course we are talking about the theme park “San Paramythi…” (Like a fairy tale), which is located in the historic Soufli, in the prefecture of Evros. The park opens as every year at the “Tzivre Industrial Complex” ready to share plenty of Christmas magic. The theme of the park as always is taken from fairy tales.
The aim of the children will be to turn all the “bad heroes” of the fairy tales into good ones, by showing them love, but also with a small dose of Christmas magic.
This year, in addition to the Elves’ Post Office and Santa’s House, in the theme park “Like a Fairy Tale…” Cinderella’s House, Peter Pan’s boat, the 101 Dalmatian Dogs, the Enchanted Forest and many, many more fairytale exhibits await us. Of course, there will be no lack of mulled wine and Christmas treats.

6 Oneiropoli, in Drama
Oneiropoli in Drama celebrates 20 years this year and it will surely be unforgettable. After all, Oneiropoli is the first of the Christmas theme parks to operate in Greece and in this way it gave the impetus for other cities to imitate it, and thus for domestic holiday tourism to flourish in many parts of the country.
This year in Oneiropoli, visitors can enjoy many shows, such as performances and concerts, as well as many Christmas activities. Some of them are:
- Santa’s House, where children will meet Santa Claus and share their wishes.
- Face painting – Elf Atelier. Everyone can transform into an elf with coloured faces and painting games.
- The Dreamland Soap Factory. An activity for little ones who want to create their own magical soap.
- The Dream City Post Office. All visitors can send their wishes to their loved ones through the Dream City Post Office.
