★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I wish I would have been there. Just a magnificent view and I could just jump directly to the age of ancient Greece! The whole place is unbelievable and to imagine what kind of imagination those guys had at the time. Also the whole geometry of the seating and the view to the stage is amazing. Would love to see something similar nowadays with a theatre show! Restoration is going great and happy to see that they keep this place in good check! Visit Greece, stay nice to each other and mind the slippery stones :) all the best, the travelling man!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Theatre of Dionysus (or Theatre of Dionysos, Greek: Θέατρο του Διονύσου) is an ancient Greek theatre in Athens. It is built on the south slope of the Acropolis hill, originally part of the sanctuary of Dionysus Eleuthereus (Dionysus the Liberator). The first orchestra terrace was constructed on the site around the mid- to late-sixth century BC, where it hosted the City Dionysia. The theatre reached its fullest extent in the fourth century BC under the epistates of Lycurgus when it would have had a capacity of up to 17,000, and was in continuous use down to the Roman period. The theatre then fell into decay in the Byzantine era and was not identified, excavated and restored to its current condition until the nineteenth century.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ As an actor I wanted to visit this theatre for such a long time and I always imagined how I would be able to stand there and walk the same stones that Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides walked, but not during this visit... It was closed for tourists and honestly I can't blame them for closing it. It's better to be closed (and preserved) then absolutely infested with selfie taking zombies... But it is a majestic place although in a very bad state (well... history was really rough on this theatre unfortunately)
