It is around 200 meters 3 minutes walk from Acropoli metro station and is open daily from 0800-2000 during April to October. The theater of Dionysus is an ancient Greek theatre built on the south slope of the Acropolis hill around the 4th to 5th century BC. Although the most famous building on the Acropolis is the Parthenon, there are many other buildings, like the Propylaea, the Erectheion and the temple of Athena Nike. The Acropolis was entirely made of the finest Pentelic marble and by the best craftsmen of the era.
