The ancient theatre of Gythio is located on the eastern foothills of the butte of the ancient citadel, in the northern part of the modern settlement of Gythio and dates back to Roman times (2nd century AD). In 1891, the monument was excavated by Andrea Skia. Only then did the whole theatre become apparent, except for the rear part of the stage.
The theatre was made of domestic off-white marble, except for the porous retaining walls in the northern and southern parts of the hollow. According to Skia, the hollow included twelve rows of seats, without a tier and five vertical corridors.
The stage of the theatre was 12 meters long and 5 meters wide. Behind the stage and on a higher level, there were seven small almost square chambers, accessible by two stairs cases forming a gallery. The first row of seats intended for the officials, known as the presidency, has backrests, a special support system for the official’s backs. diazoma.gr/en/theaters/ancient-theatre-gythio
Free access 24/7 up to a fence about 10 m from the stage and seats.
