Mytilene, GR
Get Directions
A remarkable monument of Lesbos, the ancient theatre of Mytilene, was one of the most important theatres of the ancient Greek world.
It was constructed during the early Hellenistic period upon a volcanic rock, on a quite prominent location, from where it was visible from both harbours of the island. What survives today, however, belongs to the Late Roman period, during which it could accommodate about 10,000 spectators.
