The Athens Cannabis Expo 2026 is back — and bigger than ever. Taking place from 29 to 31 May 2026 at the iconic Palio Amaxostasio O.SY. in the heart of Athens, this is the seventh edition of the first and most important international cannabis exhibition in Greece. If you are a business professional, investor, researcher or simply curious about the cannabis industry, here are all the reasons why you cannot afford to miss it.

What Is Athens Cannabis Expo 2026?

Athens Cannabis Expo is the leading cannabis trade show in Greece, gathering exhibitors and visitors from the scientific, medical, pharmaceutical, industrial and commercial sectors. It is both a B2B and B2C event, meaning it is relevant for companies looking for business opportunities as well as for consumers and enthusiasts seeking information about the latest products and innovations in the cannabis world.

The 2026 edition will be held at Palio Amaxostasio O.SY., a former tram depot dating back to the late 19th century, located at the entrance of Ermou’s pedestrian street in Gazi. With over 4,000 sq.m. of flexible indoor space, this landmark industrial venue blends historical heritage with contemporary energy — the perfect setting for one of Europe’s most exciting cannabis expos.

Why Greece Is a Strategic Market for Cannabis

Greece represents one of the most promising and rapidly growing cannabis markets in Europe. Since 30 June 2017, when the Greek Prime Minister officially announced the legalisation of the import and use of medical cannabis, the country has opened the door to a new sector with enormous potential. Industrial hemp cultivation is also legal, further expanding the range of business opportunities available.

For companies operating in the cannabis space — whether in CBD products, cosmetics, medical cannabis, seeds, vaporizers, pharmaceuticals or technology — Greece is a largely untapped market with a favourable regulatory framework, a strategic Mediterranean location and a growing consumer base.
