A unique cultural center in the heart of Athens with great programs and events including conferences, operas, ballets, exhibitions. It’s a must do if you manage to find something that interests you. (in that case do not neglect to book tickets way in advance). Apart from that, the building is way to big, difficult to navigate into and does not worth your time visiting it only to see it. Fun fact: it still hasn’t made up for the cost that was needed for it to be built.
The Athens Concert Hall (Greek: Μέγαρον Μουσικής Αθηνών, Mégaron Mousikis Athinon) is a concert hall located on Vasilissis Sofias Avenue in Athens, Greece. The Hall was inaugurated in 1991 with two halls. Since then it has been augmented with two more halls and now has a total of four: two large and two smaller ones. The Hall has optimal facilities for opera performances, and some operas are presented every season. The Megaro Moussikis station of the Athens Metro is just outside the Hall, on Line 3. The design of the 8,000 square meters floor was performed by Christopher Alexander; the process of designing and laying the floor and its result are described in his work The Nature of Order: An Essay on the Art of Building and the Nature of the Universe. Performance venues and other facilities: The Christos Lambrakis Hall (named after the ex-president of the \Friends of Music\ Society, Christos Lambrakis, and previously called \Friends of Music\ Hall) was designed by Heinrich Keilholz whose plan was altered later to its existing by architect Helias Skourbelos and the acoustics were developed by Theodore Timagenis. It has a capacity of 1,961, and is used for concerts and recitals. It also holds the biggest pipe organ in Greece, with 6,080 pipes, constructed by Klais Orgelbau. The Dimitris Mitropoulos Hall (named after the conductor, Dimitri Mitropoulos) which has a capacity of 494 and is usually used for Chamber Music and dance performances. In 2004 the International Conference Centre opened at the Athens Concert Hall, adding: The Alexandra Trianti Hall (named after lieder singer Alexándra Triántē), which has a capacity of 1,750 and is used for operas, ballet and other musical performances, The Nikos Skalkottas Hall (named after composer Nikos Skalkottas), a smaller hall for concerts and conferences, and The Lilian Voudouri Music Library of Greece, established in 1995.

A great cultural show!
The Athens Megaron is still a fine concert hall. It has given us in the past true experience in fine music. I am always happy to visit it.
I hope we visit it again on after covid era :)
