Unbelievably beautiful theater. The most complete I’ve ever seen. The backdrop of the Parthenon combined with it’s own backdrop of the stage really make for an impressive site to see. I always knew these were steep, but when you see it in person, you really get a sense of how truly steep they really are. What’s amazing is there are still concerts here from time to time. Would love to come back and check one out in the future one day.

Super interesting experience when a show is playing. It feels like you tare in ancient Greece, super nice. There are spectacles all the time there, info available at info point outside. Really hot in summer but worth the money and the sweat. Not the best sound for orchestras and operas and stuff but the experience is wort it

An experience of a lifetime to see a concert here. Beautiful amphitheater. Sound was amazing! We were so happy that we saw Sting here. Yes, feels like you are in ancient times. Magical place.

Beautiful amphitheater that is still in use today! Unfortunately none of the shows lined up with our stay in Athens so we could experience one first hand, but I heard from locals that they are really something to experience. You can also view the amphitheater from the Acropolis grounds, which give an interesting top-down view and shows how the theater is functioning to this day!

Beautiful open theatre still hosting performances. Steep marble steps with cushioned stadium seating don't detract from the incredible 360 degree views. Breezy but pleasant. Modern toilets and good refreshment selection and service.
