Schnelle Fakten: The theatre ranks among Greece's largest ancient theatres, seating approximately 6,000 people. Its semi-circular orchestra spans 22 meters in diameter, perfect for acoustics even without modern amplification.
Highlights: The theatre’s stage is unusually deep, about 30 meters, allowing intricate ancient plays to be performed in front of a panoramic backdrop of the Gulf of Patras. The surrounding stone seats curve gracefully, creating a natural amphitheater that offers superb sound clarity from every angle.
