Beyond Epidaurus: 7 Ancient Sites in Greece Where the Stage Comes Alive at Dusk

“Beyond Epidaurus: 7 Ancient Sites in Greece Where the Stage Comes Alive at Dusk” previews summer 2026 performances at lesser-known archaeological venues across Greece, beyond the usual draw of Epidaurus and Athens’ Odeon of Herodes Atticus. It says the Greek Ministry of Culture’s “All of Greece, One Culture” program will stage events at sites, monuments, and museums nationwide. The article notes performances are free but reservations are required, and normal admission charges may still apply depending on the location. One venue is the Ancient Theatre of Gitana in Thesprotia, built in the mid-3rd century BC and once holding about 4,000 spectators across 29 rows, with names carved into seat fronts that preserve a direct link to ancient audiences. In July 2026, it hosts the theatrical and musical production “Forgive Me.”
