Theatre

This theatrical scene, which includes both Western classics and political humor, has a multitude of locations throughout the city. Arts festivals across Greece are hosted throughout the summer months at various historic locations, featuring both domestic and foreign performers.

Audiences go to performances of ancient Greek theater performed in the Epidaurus Theatre, which was built in the 4th century BCE and which has remarkable acoustics; and Herodes Atticus, the 2nd-century-CE Roman theatre on the Athenian Acropolis, attracts big crowds as well. The inauguration of a new concert hall in Athens in 1991 dramatically increased the number of classical music concerts in the city.

Archaeology

As a result, the state Archaeological Service plays a crucial responsibility in preserving the country's archaeological legacy. This service collaborates often with international archaeological institutions to conduct excavations and operate museums throughout the country.

In order, the National Archaeological Museum in Athens gets the most visitors. Until the repatriation of the Elgin Marbles from the British Museum, a floor of the new Acropolis Museum was set aside for the pieces that long have been sought. Access to public libraries is very restricted, and there is no national library that meets the needs of all people.

Greek intellectual life is distinct from that of other countries since there are many organizations in which students focus on local and regional archaeology, history, and folklore. The Academy of Athens is the country's most distinguished academic society.
