A very small, magic little theater. Just under the Acropolis and so very much part of a whole aesthetic and mentality. It's accessible most times of the day, just of Dionysiou Areopagitou Str., and on one's way to the Herodion (Odeon of Herodotus Atticus) or to the Acropolis. It is also practically across the street from the New Acropolis Museum... More

this is part of the ticket you purchase as you go up to the Acropolis and you are able to sit on the seats and enjoy the view around you of the lovely trees and the Acropolis

Reading reviews, some confuse this with theatre near Acropols. Not the same, too much history and ruins! No, not really as I enjoy this most, but a brain overload if not used to it, a lot of information. Keeping journal on any historical vacation is necessary. Back to Theatre, it could have been maintained a bit better and better planning... More

Being able to walk up and sit on the steps and look down on the stage, where many before you have done the same for over 2000 years. And then walk up the steep hill to where the leftover steps finish and walking on earth that was also part of the theatre.

Many people confuse this theatre with the one you pass by when entering the Acropolis, which is the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, which, even in its romantically ruined state, is still in use today, and has seen the likes of Maria Callas and Luciano Pavarotti perform there. The Theatre of Dionysus, or at least the one that remains now, was... More

Sad to say that it is poorly maintained, even by ruin standards. Looking at the theatre area (the exhibit is comprised by other structures around it, not the theatre seats only), you will see it is not properly cordoned-off. Unfortunately, certain tourists take this gap as an opportunity to touch, stand and approach the ruins way too much. There's even... More

climbing to Acropolis you will find a great theatre, reminding you the ancient Greek stories & some movies! I wish I could enter the theatre & spend some times sitting there but it was too hot in June !

To have been on this great steps listening to "Clouds" and watching as ancient Athenians basked in the cultural greatness of their city would have been the height of the patrons of the theater. You can actually enter the circle and sit on the stones once occupied by the likes of Solon, Socrates, and Aristophanes. If you do not leave... More

If this was an alcarte item, I wouldnt suggest it, but since it's already part of the ticket you bought to see the Acropolis, go check it out. You can get an overhead view from the Acropolis, but there is nothing like sitting in the chairs of patrons and feeling what it must have been like.
