Perfect sampling of historical Greek theatre with a smart accessible twist - This was a really fun and quick evening experience in Athens. I studied theater in school, and to have just a taste of different classic Greek theatrical stories with the Acropolis lit up behind the performers was truly magical. The actors are hilarious and make it very accessible even if you’re not familiar with classic Greek theatre. We laughed a lot and it’s just the right length of time at 1 hour!

Great fun! Will 100% go again - This was a great show. It was funny, a little sad and just a fantastic way to spend an hour after dinner. The setting is perfect and would recommend to anyone heading to Athens.

Great Show in an Unforgettable Setting - A really great experience overall! The setting alone makes this worth it: an open-air theater right at the base of the Acropolis, with views of the surrounding city and a softly lit Acropolis backdrop that feels almost magical. The show itself was good and quite funny , not one that totally blew me away, but still very enjoyable and absolutely worth the price. A great way to spend an evening in Athens.

Tourist trap - Quite a silly play, TBH. A tourist trap, though with a nice view to the Acropoli hill. The episodes from the ancient tragedies were the best

Overpriced and not worth it at all - This is overpriced! You are on a small patio on top of a university, drinking boxed wine out of a paper cup, watching what feels like a highschool play. They really give it their all but it's amateur. They tried hard. I give it the view behind you is amazing. There were no mics, weird Greek plays etc. Not at all what I expected or worth the price.

Overpriced not worth it. - This is overpriced!! It is basically a patio on top of a university. I was expecting a classical outdoor theatre. I give it that it has great view of Acropolis. Then a school play with boxed wine in paper cups. They actors tried hard , however I felt like I was at a school play with students. No mics, wierd play, waiting to get the point.... Etc.

Skip it - Cool view of acropolis, feels like someone's patio tho. Felt like I was at my child's play. Lovely and passionate performers but just not worth the amount of money charged. Boxed wine in paper cups and performers not microphoned so no idea what was happening. Definitely a pass from me.
