This is a relaxed and informal and fun way to spend an evening. The rooftop stage is a perfect venue for this enjoyable experience as you look around at the panoramic view of Athens at night culminating in spectacular sight of the Parthenon from the foot of the acropolis. The wine served is not for the feint of heart, but the bottled water was appreciated. They try and succeed to entertain with an updated take on some of the classics.
We were only in Athens for one day while passing through and really wanted to experience something special. The performance completely exceeded our expectations. Under the open sky with the backdrop of the Acropolis, as authentic as thousands of years ago, performed with great passion, this theatrical performance had the magical power of time travel and took us back to ancient times. You are allowed to take photos without flash (no videos) during the performance. You also get wine or water to drink, and after the performance, you can thank the actors personally and take photos. Great performance for the price of two cocktails is actually 🍹 way too little. We would recommend this experience to everyone. Please be sure to drop a few bills into the tip jar after the performance.
A brilliant experience and worth the money. Under the acropolis with a really atmospheric set, was a highlight of the holiday. Standard of the acting excellent and I liked the whip through of a few different myths. Glass of wine on arrival, super friendly staff, intimate setting - would really recommend.
Unreal experience! The acting was amazing and captivating. Great mix of comedy and drama! The view from rooftop was added bonus!
A fantastic collection of short plays covering ancient Greek myth. I would highly recommend seeing this. A fantastic hour.
A fun show with actors portraying characters in Greek dramas and comedies, some light-hearted moments, but also serious moments . Enjoyed by all, ages 12-75.
An entertaining work with unbeatable views. You would appreciate a Spanish session, but otherwise very well.
It was funny from start to finish with the amazing performances and lighting and the acropolis background it really made our last night special
Amazing setting and views of Athens. The production is minimalist in an amazing way. Great actors doing so much with few bells and whistles.
Next-best thing to time-traveling. From the comfort of a modern chair, watch as 4 talented men re-create ancient Greek myths using masks, costumes speaking with excellent English, and explaining and making it all relatable. The view of the Parthenon and a cup of wine or box of juice are such beautiful hospitality and an example of the care for guests. Would definitely recommend.
