8The Odeon of Herodes Atticus, Athens
Built in 161 CE by Herodes Atticus in memory of his wife, this stunning stone theater sits at the foot of the Acropolis.
While not strictly an ancient Greek creation—being a Roman addition—it remains one of Athens’ most iconic venues. The Odeon is still used for performances during the Athens Epidaurus Festival, offering an enchanting blend of history and modernity.
