Night out
Amazing experience and great performance! Get them to the big stage!

What are they saying?
Sadly enough the noise of the mobile airco competed on volume with the actors on stage, degrading their performance. This probably isn't a problem for the people at the front, but considering it costs 30 euros for everyone (and the play happens daily), they should have a solution for this.

Wow
Map i found difficult to follow to find, but maybe that was me. Left plenty of time to find it so we weren't late. Lovely cosy and intimate place. Drinks on arrival were a good choice. Actors were phenomenal. The show was excellent. 3 Actors to do the whole Odyssey - fantastic! Fully recommended for a night time.

Passionate and energetic
Absolutely loved it, full of energy and passion for an action packed story - the cast did an incredible job!
via Tripadvisor
Great three person play
A really fun play and retelling of the odyssey. Only a three person cast, they did very well to use pure theatricality to bring the world to life. Very reasonably priced. Only reason there is four stars is there are a few parts of the odyssey that were missed out despite the advert saying they would go through all of it.

Athens: The Odyssey Live, an Epic Theatrical Journey: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Athens: The Odyssey Live, an Epic Theatrical Journey cost?
+
Prices start at $34 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Athens usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Athens: The Odyssey Live, an Epic Theatrical Journey take?
+
Plan for about 1.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Athens is not rushed.
Is Athens: The Odyssey Live, an Epic Theatrical Journey worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Athens: The Odyssey Live, an Epic Theatrical Journey?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Athens: The Odyssey Live, an Epic Theatrical Journey suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Athens: The Odyssey Live, an Epic Theatrical Journey?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Athens can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Athens and add a light layer if any part of the 1.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Athens: The Odyssey Live, an Epic Theatrical Journey start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Athens within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Athens?
+
On Outty we rank every Athens experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis, Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Acropolis E-bike Tour With Entrance Tickets. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Athens?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Athens?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
