Very fascinating place, it's big and great architecture.

An incredible part of the acropolis that is very worth seeing, it's absolutely amazing, especially the nice chairs at the front.

You can see the seating areas in the lower part of the Acropolis theater. The seats of the city's notables are in a certain way. There is a security wall between the seats and the area. There is a wall built to ensure safety during shows with dangerous animals. It is a magnificent theater in very good condition.

This will be the first point of interest if you will encounter while entering through the South Slope. A pretty impressive and well preserved 2000+ years old ancient Greek Theatre. You can get better shots of it from the Acropolis.
