Herod Atticus built this roofed Odeon (in 161 B.C.) for music concerts in honor of his wife Regilla, after her death. Its magic and beauty, can only be understood when walking on the way to Acropolis.

a stone theatre structure located on the south slope of the Acropolis of Athens. It was built in 161 AD by the Athenian magnate Herodes Atticus in memory of his wife, Aspasia Annia Regilla.

A bit hard on your bottom and your back, can be very hot sometimes, but it is worth every minute of your time and every cent of your money to be here for a concert, ballet, play or whatever.

Imagine the excitement when not only you visit a monument of thousands years old but you participate in an event that is similar to the use of this monument thousands of years ago..feeling privileged!

Ancient theater built on the slope of the Acropolis that is nowadays the main venue of the Athens Greek festival. Try to attend a live concert or an ancient tragedy, unforgettable experience.
