Where is the Greek Theatre in Neapolis?
From Panorama Hotel, the Greek Theatre is about a 19-minute walk or an 8-minute drive. Pair your visit with the nearby Ear of Dionysius, also within the Neapolis archaeological area.
For broader context on the surrounding site, the Neapolis Archaeological Park guide covers what to see and how to plan.
What can you see at the ancient theatre?
The Greek Theatre is the ancient stage at the heart of this visit to Neapolis. Its place within the archaeological area makes it a natural focus when you explore the site.
Plan your stop around the theatre itself, then allow time for the rest of the archaeological area if you want to see more than the stage. The Greek Theatre is also known as al teatro greco in Italian.
