O	Oleksandr Sukhoi on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Від театра поки що видно тільки перші кілька рядів. Зараз йдуть розкопки, можливо згодом почнеться більша реконструкція From the theater so far only the first few rows are visible. Excavations are underway, and a major reconstruction may begin later
M	Maria Świętochowska on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Jestem zawiedziona! Teren bardzo zaniedbany, nie ma nic ciekawego do zwiedzania/ogladania. Niewiele kamieni/pozostałości po starej Sparcie. Nawet kasę zamkneli na głucho, teren (gaj oliwny) otwarty dla chętnych. I am disappointed! Very run down area, nothing interesting to see / view. Few stones / remains of old Sparta. They even closed the ticket office, the area (olive grove) was open to volunteers.
J	Josef Schuster on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ das Amphitheater ist wenn man einen geöffneten Eingang gefunden hat wert es anzusehen ... the amphitheater is worth looking at once you've found an open entrance...
R	Robert H on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Almost neglected peice of history has been preserved greatly considering the size of the city. The museum is really fascinating too
J	Josephi Krakouski on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I was very dissatisfied to find out that this did not physically bring me 400 A.D. I was promised time traveling, and was not delivered.
d	d0rian7 on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The second best place to visit if you are in Sparta, the first being Mystras. The place is well preserved and the entrance to the site is free. Apart from the roman remains of the theatre and the other buildings, you can also see the old aquaduct of Sparta.
P	Peter Savin on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An interesting site overall at the head of the town and from reports a lot safer to visit recently and tidied up, the theatre was shut for an archaeological excavation but you could view it from above. The gates to the site are left open so no ticket to get in. There are various ruins with good information boards around the sites with a good path connecting them. It’s a pity it’s not more promoted but Sparta as a whole isn’t really at tourist town there’s little to hold your interest and parking is an issue. The people we met in town however are were very friendly.
Y	Y.H. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The ancient theater of Sparta is located 500 m north of the modern city of Sparta, on the southern slope of the Acropolis of Ancient Sparta. Its construction dates to 30-20 BC (between the late Hellenistic period to the early Roman period). It was one of the largest ancient theatres at the time, and contained up to 16,000 spectators (similar to the great theatre of Epidaurus). The theater was only partially excavated, but it is still impressive and magnificent. However, its historical potential is far from being realized and there is a big need for restoration and renovation work in order to restore its glory!
