    The Ancient Theatre of Thorikos built around 525 BC (around 2500 years ago) is the oldest known theatre in the world but lies almost forgotten & a short drive from the more famous Temple of Poseidon. Without guards or fences one can just walk into this site & imagine the performances that once graced its stage with the backdrop of the Aegean sea in the distance.
