Odeon of Herodes Atticus
Did you know that the greek Herodes Atticus built this in memory of his wife back in 161 AD?
Its hard trying to imagine beeing on a venue like this for a music consert, in Athens Greece, but the best part of this place is that its actually used. There has been a lot bigshots preforming on this arena, including stars like Sting, Diana Ross, Frank Sinatra, Andrea Bocelli, Foo Fighters and Liza Minelli.
So once again, try imagining being on a consert on an area like this… if you could choose the artist, who would be preforming?

I love ancient architecture like this. I often try to imagine all the people sitting in the seats and what they must have been watching.

That is exquisite. I have been to Italy and I loved it. It is so much different than the US. This is one area that I didn’t see while I was there; however, so I think it is a sign to go back. Great blog post.

We loved Athens and the amazing history of this region. I didn’t know the background, so thanks for sharing your photos with us.

This is so beautiful! You would definitely need a big name to play in such a spectacular venue. I’m thinking along the lines of…Elton John.
