“On a full-house night, 5,000 people sit tightly next to each other in excited anticipation, taking photos before the show or just cooling themselves with a handheld fan. Lights go out, the audience settles and for a brief moment, everything is silent in the balmy evening air. And in that silence, past meets present in the here and now.” Catching a show at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus is an unmissable experience for every traveller.
