True Athens

Beyond the Acropolis

Dionysus Feast at Epidaurus theater

ByAthensguide

Aug 4, 2011 , ,

Epidaurus festival National Theater of Nothern Greece will perform Dionysus Feast on August 12 and 13 at the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus.

This will be the first time the State Theatre of Northern Greece performs in this ancient venue and for their debut here they’ve chosen to take the audience on a journey back in time that pays tribute to the greats of Greek theater.
The performance will, of course, be in Greek, so non-Greek speakers may have a tough time following – but who cares? If you are around Ancient Epidavros on August 12 or 13, 2011, I’d say that visiting this amazing Ancient Theater may be a once in a life time experience that you ought not miss.

Tickets on sale online and at the Festival box office

How does a little girl from Skokie, Illinois find herself in historical Athens, leading curious explorers through the winding streets of Plaka, down "pezodromos" to hidden ouzeries for tempting mezedhes and homemade barrel wine? The journey began more than twenty years ago, and regardless of whether the wanderlust comes from the spiritual and culture DNA flowing through my veins, or the alignment of the stars on that cold mid-December day this Sagitterian came into the world, I never seem to tire of exploring my adopted homeland of Greece. Here you'll join me as I explore Athens: be it the back streets of Psirri and Gazi, or through the National Gardens and Zappeio where a family of turtles makes their home, or down wide, treelined Imittou Street in Pagrati, which pulses with Athenian life 24 hours a day. And while Athens has stolen my heart, the rest of Greece vies for my curiousity and wanderlust. My two guys (that'd be the Greek God, Vasilis and our Greek dog, Scruffy) and I can often be found settling in for a long weekend in some charming mountain village, or a quaint fishing port on a nearby island, or learning how Greek vitners are producing wines that rival some of Napa Valley's finests productions, or celebrating a panayeri in Epirus or sharing in the festivities as a family of Cretan sheepherders come together to sheer their 1500 sheep in the spring ... And if you happen to find yourself heading to Athens, consider finding yourself a real home for your stay. Living amongst the locals, be it for 3 nights or 3 weeks, will offer you the chance to experience true Athens, beyond the Acropolis. Choose from one of our 5 beautiful penthouse and historical homes, and who knows, I may be leading you down that winding "pezodromo" to our favorite hidden ouzerie!
