The Roman Odeum of Nikopolis is a remarkable amphitheatre, and very well preserves. It situated 200 meters west to the Western Gateway of Nikopolis. It contains around 1,500 sits and it is opened to the public (free entrance). The only two problems are that it does not have easy access to vehicles and has no parking nearby. You can drive through the Western Gateway on a narrow path. The entrance is located on the south side of the site. From the top, you have fanstatic panoramic view over the Ambracian Gulf and the mountains around. Don't miss a visit in the "Big Theatre" of Nikopolis that is also called The Roman Odeum of Nikopolis, 1.5 km North. Bottom line - a "must see site" in Preveza Area!! Smaller theater but still beautiful. You can park nearby and walk. Bring water on a hot day. Zeker bezoeken als je on de buurt bent. En zeker ook het museum in Preveza. Totally incredible place!!! We were totally alone, and as a singer, I tried the ingeniousity of the Romans. The acoustic is unbelievable 😍 Respect to those people who built such amazing monuments without the machinery we have today!!! 💪💪💪 Good place to explore If you're interested in history, Cleopatra etc. There are no special installations, but if you can imagine bit, it's quite impressive. The Roman Odeon, among the most important and best preserved monuments in Nicopolis, is a true architectural masterpiece by some unknown but great architect. It lies at the centre of the town, on the west side of the Early Christian wall, adjacent to the Roman agora (forum). It was used for lectures, literary and musical contests and theatrical performances during the Nea Aktia religious games honouring Apollo. Being adjacent to the agora, it probably operated as a bouleuterion (council chamber) for the remaining months of the year. It was built during the reign of Augustus (early first century AD) and frequently repaired and remodelled in the late second century – early third century AD. The odeon consisted of the cavea, the orchestra and the scene. The cavea contained 19 rows of seats and was divided into two sections by a small horizontal central corridor. Spectacular Very interesting Tickets from the museum most be shown at the sights Fantastic archeology !! The Odeum is in much better condition than the Stadium (completely derelict and overgrown) and the Theartre (which is closed to the public currently). Then you can drive 5 mins down the road to the museum, which is very informative and educational Very impressive. Hidden away in the Greek countryside. Very few tourists. Amazing unpresented Roman theatre with free access, forming a part of the enormous ruins of the City of Nicopolis. You help yourself and take your safety in your own hands as there are clear drops and holes in places that would not suit young kids without close supervision. But amazing for those with an interest and who don’t like the crowds. I was able to wander about with the place to myself. A hidden gem! Really worth a visit and for a very reasonable price you can visit the museum as well as the archaeological sites. Really loved learning about the history of ancient Nikopolis!
