"THE ODEION OF HERODES ATTICUS

The Odeion of Herodes Atticus was built in 161 AD by the wealthy Herodes Tiberius Claudius Atticus, a teacher and philosopher, who inherited a fortune from his father. Herodes Atticus constructed the covered Odeion in memory of his wife Regilla. Ancient Greeks organised events in the Odeion. Nowadays, the 5,000-seat theatre is a venue for concerts of the Athens Festival. You may enjoy the beauty and charm of the Odeion in a morning stroll on the way to the Acropolis."
