There is nothing more refreshing in Athens than catching a live performance (music, opera, tragedy etc) at Herodeum on a summer night. Just under the Acropolis rock, with superb acoustic and relatively democratic prices.
Highly recommended!

This was one of the first stops on the way up to the Acropolis. The Odeum was beautifully reconstructed. Most of it was fenced off to keep people safe, but the view from above tells it all.

I hope that when they finish restorations they will allow people to enter the Odeum ... or host musical performances or something! The site is phenomenal, the archetecture amazing both inside and out.

This place would be more popular and impressive if it were not near the accropolis or the Ancient Agora. Still impressive.

The restoration has been so well done, you can practically hear the roar of the crowd. Downside is you can't get in to look around, only take photos from Acropolis or from outside. they do hold concerts there, so check the website before you go.

If you happen to be in Athens during a concert night, give it a go, especially if a popular Greek artist is performing. It will be a memorable experience, and the view behind the stage is amazing!
