My family of 5 attended with 3 teenage kids. This is a fun interactive experience to add on to your tours of museums and ruins.
This was a fun experience. The host was funny, engaging, and very energetic! It was really great to engage with total strangers - all of whom took the experience and participated wholeheartedly! Would highly recommend!
Wonderful time! Very well performed, very fun. Incredible singing voice. Slightly too structured perhaps? Very guided. This however would make it all the better suited for a fun night of entertainment for a couple or a family. An excellent time.
This was a really fun activity to do with my 13 year old son. The actor Michael was so funny and engaged everyone in the facade. We learned some.random facts about Athens and Greece. It was well run and silly.
It was an enjoyable and entertaining experience. The mystery was not too complicated and we heard some fun facts about Athens and Greek mythology. We think it's probably most suitable for families with children, but we (three 45+ friends) had a nice time as well.
Great one-man show. IMO it's best for ages 8-18. We brought a 6yo and 8yo. The 6yo had fun, but she was the youngest audience member that night and had a little trouble keeping up. Everyone left happy, though. The performer was engaging and thoughtful.

We love live theater and are especially excited when theater is used to bring history to life. Step back in time, put your Sherlock Holmes cap on and solve the mystery of who killed Callimachos (hint: they didn't have butlers)
Haha thank you so much! We’re delighted you enjoyed the Ancient Greek Theatre Murder Mystery experience!
As a fan of whodunnits it was exceedingly fun to engage in this Poirot meets Pericles experience. Michális was very skilled at improv – adjusting to many different questions from his co-detectives. It was very engaging and a suitable challenge to figure out the motive, means, and opportunity of each subject. Speaking to Michális and Christina afterwards reignited my love of acting, and I found myself doing Iago infront of the mirror when I got home.
We’re so happy your experience here was so memorable! We’re even happier that through our chat you rediscovered your passion for acting, that’s the most touching and exciting news for us. We’ll be ready to welcome you with new activities when you visit Athens again!
