• By Susan from Athens

  This beautiful ancient theatre is an amazing venue to watch a theatre or dance performance or even music. The location is everything. Look up to see the Parthenon and the temple of Apteros Niki. The deep amphitheatre has heavily reconstructed marble seating, which isn't super comfortable even with the cushions provided. Only a very limited number of rows offer back support and the upper section is come as you go unnumbered seating, so arrive early in comfortable shoes. The acoustics are amazing and audiences enthusiastic, so it caan be very special indeed.
