Ancient Theatre of Thasos
Αρχαίο Θέατρο Θάσου
An ancient Greek theatre set in the pine woods on the acropolis slope. Restored, it hosts Greek drama again in summer, with views of the harbor.
The Ancient Theatre of Thasos was first built in the 3rd century BC. In the Roman period it was adapted into a venue for gladiatorial displays. It is built into the hillside, backed by pine woods and facing the sea. After years of restoration, the theatre has reopened, and in summer it hosts drama and music performances (subject to announcements from local cultural authorities). It lies near the start of the trail up to the acropolis, about 10–15 minutes’ walk from Limenas harbor.
