Athens

"Watching a performance in the Herodion Music Hall or the Epidaurus Theatre is one of my favourite activities during the summer. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience."
Running between June and August, lap up all sorts of theatrical performances, ranging from theater to dance to music, during the summer Athens Epidaurus Festival. It’s held at multiple venues in Athens and Epidaurus (in Argolis). Two outstanding venues include Athens’ awe-inspiring Odeon of Herodes Atticus and the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus. Shows celebrate Greek artists, ranging from opera to jazz concerts, plays, visual installations, fashion shows, and plenty more.
