Amphitheater of Lycabettus is one of Athens’ most striking open-air venues—an amphitheatre set into the hillside on the site of a former quarry. Its clean modernist lines and stepped seating feel naturally carved into the slope, while the around 3,000-seat capacity makes it perfect for concerts and performances that need both scale and closeness.
Inside, it’s all about the atmosphere: open sky above the stage, the city skyline as a backdrop, and a sound that carries beautifully on warm evenings. Sightlines are strong across the tiers, so even higher seats keep you connected to the show, with on-site amenities that make pre-event waiting and intermissions comfortable.
You’ll find it on the east side of Lycabettus Hill: Lycabettus Hill, (east side of Lycabettus), Athens, Greece. The easiest way to reach the entrance is by taxi up to the hill’s parking area, or via the Lycabettus cable car/funicular from Kolonaki (lower station near the corner of Ploutarchou and Aristippou) followed by a short walk to the amphitheatre.
