Hidden gem with a lot of events!

We didn't know the theater is active, but there is a lot of theater, performances, music that takes place here. The website is not always accurate on the schedule, but they have something often. If you're nearby, check it out at 8PM.

Built in 161AD - Still in use today

Well you can't fault a venue that is still being used for it's original purpose 1800+ years after it was built. This 5000 seat theatre venue still has concerts and is situated on the slopes of the Acropolis so it is easy to find.

Wonderful ancient venue - Sting

We went to the Acropolis when we first arrived in Athens in the late afternoon to escape the heat of the middle of the day and also to escape the crowds. From the top we looked down on the Odeon of Herodes Atticus and thought...More
