Usual synagogue opening hours are Mondays to Thursdays 10 am-4 pm, Fridays 10 am-3 pm.
The synagogue is closed on weekends (Saturday, Sunday) and Greek public holidays.
There is an entrance fee of EUR 4 per person. Tickets are sold on site.
(Free entrance for children under 14 and students.)
The fee crucially helps to fund the day-to-day running and maintenance of the synagogue.
Guided tours are given by our staff and are included in the entrance fee. Information pamphlets in a number of languages are also provided to visitors inside the synagogue.
Etz Hayyim Synagogue welcomes visitors of all backgrounds and faiths.
We kindly ask that visitors to note the following:
- As Etz Hayyim is an active synagogue, visitors must please dress appropriately. Kippot and prayer shawls are provided at the entrance.
- Etz Hayyim does not receive any Government/State funding so we rely on the generosity of our supporters. Donations are welcome and will crucially help to fund the day-to-day running and maintenance of the synagogue.
- Groups (of more than 10 people) must notify the synagogue at least 24 hours in advance with the number of guests and approximate time of visit.
- Photography is permitted inside the synagogue, however only photographs of the building itself are allowed (no selfies or posing).
