Very funny, well worth it! - The cast was super nice and the stories they told ranged from comedy to tragedy but were all extremely enjoyable. They made us laugh so much.

Stunning views and a fun performance. - Greek Theatre in English with an amazing view of the Acropolis. My kids loved it and so did I. The whole experience is fun and educational, taking place on a rooftop with a breath-taking backdrop of the acropolis. If you want a fun, but different, evening whilst in Athens then this is highly recommended.

Great experience for Greek theatre - The location of the theatre and the backdrop for the Sathe is stunning. We had the lit up Acropolis is the background. The play was funny. The experience was good. Would definitely recommend it

Great surprise opportunity and a fun show! - What a great fun night! To see a show just meters from the first theater was surreal - and the view makes it hard to watch the stage. The actors were great. The content was funny, informative, and well done. I'm so glad that we happened to see a sign advertising the show as we wandered Athens, since we hadn't heard about it before. I particularly liked the way the seating was tiered so that everyone could see clearly - even from the middle of the seating area. The Directors talk at the beginning was difficult to hear, even with the mic - but the actors all had great projection and were easy to hear. The information was invaluable in understanding the rest of the show, especially because I wasn't as familiar with the myths as I would have liked. The wine was so-so but wasn't the reason we went (although it was a nice addition) My only recommendation would be to buy tickets direct from the vendor. I purchased through Tripadvisor, because my credit card had sent me a 'coupon' that had very little fine print - but they denied the bonus they offered for the purchase so I wound up paying $4 more for the two tickets.

Fun and different - This was a fun activity and a nice change of pace from sight seeing. My teens enjoyed it as well. The rooftop venue has an amazing view. If I had known more about what they were going to cover, I would have brushed up on Odysseus, Medea, Prometheus, and Antigone. Still, my kids seemed to follow along pretty well. We all enjoyed it. I am giving 4 stars because it was somewhat difficult to find. It is close to the Tower of the Winds but the entrance is around a corner and not obvious. Not sure why Trip Advisor / Viator can’t list a street address vs giving two cross streets as a reference point.

Mythical tales by 4 aspiring actors - Series of short skits that told mythical stories. Pretty cheesy & sometimes difficult to understand the words. Setting & backdrop of the acropolis was very nice & we lucked out with beautiful weather. Actors put their hearts into it & utilized the available surroundings & materials as best they could.
