Herod Atticus Odeon, Athens

Went here for a concert as part of the Athens Festival, what a fantastic experience. The music was amazing. The theatre is so atmospheric - the moon was shining through the ancient arches. The acoustics and lighting added to the experience. If you are in Athens during the Festival this is an absolute must. We paid for the best seats so not cheap but still no where near what you would pay for a show in London. You can book tickets easily online at the Festival website.

Top 2 venues I've ever experienced in my life. Up there with Red Rocks in Colorado. Just go. It's incredible. Godspeed You! Black Emperor was mind-blowing. What a thrill to see such an amazing group in such a historic venue. Words can't describe. Wow.

We went to see a concert here. For a lovely experience enjoy a sunset dinner at a local rooftop close, such as Sense, then head here for an evening concert. No need to pay highest dollar for closest seats - the middle area ones allow the best view. If you get the middle area top seat you get a backrest.

Beautiful amphitheater that is still in use today! Unfortunately none of the shows lined up with our stay in Athens so we could experience one first hand, but I heard from locals that they are really something to experience. You can also view the amphitheater from the Acropolis grounds, which give an interesting top-down view and shows how the theater is functioning to this day!

Beautiful open theatre still hosting performances. Steep marble steps with cushioned stadium seating don't detract from the incredible 360 degree views. Breezy but pleasant. Modern toilets and good refreshment selection and service.
