LIVE SCENE
Those of you who love a good concert will definitely not be disappointed with what Athens has to offer!
All year round, there are a number of both large and small stages featuring almost any style of music imaginable. Concert prices have been known to be steep for major international names, but quite reasonable at smaller venues – that may also allow for a drink included with entrance price (usually price ranges from 8-15 Euro).
With the same concept in mind, many clubs also have special live nights with guest artists or surprise events.
