La multietnica capitale greca, dalla vivacità culturale inaspettata, la metropoli ellenica caotica e passionale, che ospita un viavai continuo di gente, razze ed etnie e che seduce con la sua capacità di mischiare sapientemente la cultura classica e quella orientale,  merita sicuramente una visita. 
Meglio se lo si fa con calma, densa com’è di memorie, di monumenti antichi e moderni, di chiese, musei, teatri e templi.
Se arrivate all’Acropoli dal lato sud, l’Odéion di Erode Attico non mancherà di sorprendervi con la sua maestosità.
Il teatro, costruito interamente in pietra su un ripido pendio nell’anno 161 a.C., da un console di Maratona, di nome Tiberio Claudio Attico Erode, in memoria della sua consorte, Aspasia Annia Regilla, è ancora in ottimo stato di conservazione grazie al restauro degli anni ’50.
Oggi vi si svolgono il Festival di Atene, concerti musicali e tragedie classiche, sotto il cielo notturno e la rocca dell’acropoli, con vista sul Partenone illuminato, che è davvero un’esperienza unica.
L’antico anfiteatro di Herodeion è  uno dei posti migliori per guardare uno spettacolo teatrale classico dal vivo, in una cornice suggestiva e in un’atmosfera densa di emozioni.
Indosso un paio di jeans e  un blazer bianchi, la cui luminosità è smorzata da accessori ottanio, una sfumatura indubbiamente interessante, più che un colore, un’intepretazione: vira verso il verde, a volte verso il turchese altre verso il blu, molto brillante e satura, a tratti cupa e profonda, una nuance intensa, elegante e, decisamente snob.
Pantone la chiama “Niagara” per questa PE 2017.

The multiethnic Greek capital, by the unexpected cultural vitality, the chaotic and passionate Hellenic metropolis, which is home to a continuum of people coming and going, races and ethnicities, that can seduce with its ability to skillfully mix the classical culture and the Eastern one, deserves a visit. Better if you do it quietly because it is so full of memories, ancient and modern monuments, churches, museums, theaters, and temples.If you come to the Acropolis from the south side, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus will surprise you with its grandeur. 
The construction of the monument during the second century AD was sponsored by Tiberius Claudius Herod Atticus, renowned offspring of an important Athenian family and a benefactor; he thus acted in remembrance of his wife Regilla, who died in 160 AD.
It was a solid construction, but the masonry was not massive. Both wall surfaces were covered by porous stone blocks, while the interior was filled with quarry-faced stones. It is still in excellent condition thanks to the restoration of the 50s. 
Today take place here the Athens Festival, musical concerts, and classical tragedies, under the sky and the Acropolis rock, overlooking the Parthenon lit which is a truly unique experience.
The ancient amphitheater of Herodeion is one of the best places to watch a classic theatrical live show, in a picturesque setting and in an atmosphere full of emotions.
I’m wearing white jeans and blazer, whose brightness is dampened by teal accessories, an interesting shade, more than a color, an interpretation: turns to green, sometimes to the turquoise or to the blue, very bright and saturated, sometimes dark and deep, an intense nuance, so elegant and very snobby.
Pantone calls it “Niagara” for this SS 2017.

Il Teatro di Erode Attico, costruito da Erode, si trova alla base dell’Acropoli ed è utilizzato ancora oggi per emozionanti spettacoli teatrali classici. – http://www.atene.org/acropoli/teatro-di-erode-attico/
The Odeon of Herodes Atticus in Athens: Built at the base of the Acropolis, the ancient amphitheatre of Herodeion, also known as the Odeon of Herodus Atticus, is today one of the best places to experience a live classical theatre performance. This ancient theater was built in the Roman times, in about 161 A.D. by the Roman philosopher, teacher and politician Herodes Atticus. It was built in the memory of his wife Aspasia Regilla who died in 160 AD. This semi-circular amphitheater has a wide 1,250 feet radius with a seating capacity of more than 6,000 people. The original wall of the stage stood three storeys high and was decorated with marbles and ceramic pieces while today it stands in ruins. The stage and seating area was laid with marble while it has been renovated today. A cedar-wooden roof covered the theatre in the ancient times. Today you can attend the Athens Art Festival, musical concerts and classical tragedies under the night sky with a marvelous acoustic experience. All events are held from May to early October since the theatre is open. The Herodeion Theatre stands on Dionysiou Areopagitou Pedestrian Street, right under the Acropolis Source: www.greeka.co
