Visiting the Odeon of Herodes Atticus was genuinely one of my favourite moments in Athens. Sitting beneath the Acropolis, the theatre feels incredibly powerful and timeless, with its grand stone arches and perfectly curved seating creating such an intimate atmosphere.

Really cool experience we got to see this while we were at Metropolis climbing our way up to the top of the hill, this used to have a roof on it back in the day, but it is a very cool structure. Take it. Happy travels.

If you can spare just one night in Athens, make sure you visit this magnificent Roman-era auditorium. Be wise and chose a concert or theater and you'll never forget the experience of watching world class artists under the starry Athens sky, below the Acropolis and the Parthenon. Highly recommended.

We saw a tribute to Maria Callas here in 2021 and it was magical. A full moon above the Parthenon with beautiful music in an ancient marble theater. It was a once in a lifetime experience.

The Odeon of Herodes Atticus is absolutely amazing. It’s incredible to stand in a place where performances and music events have been held for centuries. The atmosphere is breathtaking, and imagining the ancient concerts and plays that once took place here makes it even more special. A truly unforgettable part of visiting Athens!

A beautiful place and only when you stand there in person do you understand how huge it is. The idea that theatrical performances took place in this place several thousand years ago and how many people could fit there at once is incredibly fascinating.
