I am so fascinated by Ancient Greek history and from what I understand, some of the ancient theaters are still intact and performances are being held there. I've been research Epidavros and noticed that they hold performances there in the summer. Has anyone been? What was it like?

I've seen footage online of people marveling at the amazing acoustics, and I want to experience this for myself.

It is an amazing experience. We have seen two performances - one was the Royal British Theater Company. Outstanding! Get the upgraded seats with a cushion. It is a several hour drive from Athens, so you may want to consider booking an Airbnb in one of the villages closer to the venue.

The Epidavros theatre is unfortunately very difficult to get to from Athens. That's why I prefer seeing performances at the Ωδείο Ηρώδου του Αττικού at the base of the Acropolis. I have seen plays, operas and music there and the acoustics are amazing. Epidavros would be even better and maybe one day I will get to see a performance there.

This is a great tip - I think I will check this out! Thank you.

Hmmm. I thought it was closer. Maybe I can stay somewhere near the theater for a night or two... And thanks for the tip about the cushion!

LAST MINUTE OFFERSON GALILEO!

If any one is lucky or has an opportunity to be on Galileo they will never ever forget these experiences.Many years I formulated an itinerary for Aris Drivas Yatching and Galileo was in Mykonos for an initial practice and presentation sailing around the Cyclades!I didn't have time to go sailing with her, just being on board and seeing her again moored in Syros for many days was just magical..

Restaurants with a View in Athens

I am putting together a list of restaurants to try in Athens and I want to have multiple moods on it... Sometimes, I want to dine purely with a view, sometimes I just want a really great meal.

I found this article - what do you guys think of these places in the article? Do you know of any great places with a view in Athens? Ideally the food will also be excellent:


Sometimes I don't have luck with TripAdvisor places, because I am not sure the people voting are necessarily locals...
