The Theatre of Dionysus is an ancient open-air theatre that holds immense historical and cultural significance. It's considered the birthplace of Greek drama and is closely associated with the worship of Dionysus, the god of wine and theatre.

Built in the 5th century BC, it could accommodate up to 17,000 spectators and was a venue for theatrical performances, including the works of renowned playwrights like Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides.

The theatre still holds performances today. The acoustics are fantastic and it's well worth seeing a show here if you get the chance.
