Google Maps reviews of this place
Reviews posted by visitors on Google Maps.
Visitar la cuna del teatro mundial en pleno invierno fue un acierto total. A diferencia de los meses de verano, la afluencia de gente fue mínima, lo que permitió recorrer las gradas de mármol y el proscenio con una tranquilidad casi mística. Es el momento ideal para los amantes de la fotografía y la historia que buscan una conexión real con el sitio. Logística y Precios Entradas: El acceso está incluido en el ticket general de la Acrópolis, que en esta fecha tuvo un costo de 20 euros. Beneficios: Un punto muy positivo es la gratuidad para menores de 25 años, lo que lo hace muy accesible para estudiantes y jóvenes viajeros. Disponibilidad: Al ser temporada baja, no fue necesario comprar los boletos con anticipación. Pudimos adquirirlos directamente en taquilla sin esperas, algo impensable en julio o agosto.
Es increible la arquitectura de todo el lugar, es muy hermoso, se encuentra dentro de la acropolis por qmlo qué pagas 30 euros
Bajo el Partenón, en la Acrópolis de Atenas, el Teatro de Dionisio es vestigio del arte dramático, pues es considerado el primer teatro del mundo. Hoy en desuso, exhibió obra dramática de los tres autores de las tragedias griegas, a saber, Esquilo, Sófocles y Eurípides. Hoy, no está permitido entrar a sus gradas; una cadena marca los límites permitidos. Su construcción se data en el siglo VI a. de C. Dedicado a Dioniso, el dios griego del vino, la agricultura, la fertilidad y el teatro.
