Patras Festival – Ancient Greek Drama

A festival institution with an emphasis on Theatre and Ancient Greek Drama which invites visitors to enjoy evenings full of culture, under the Patras sky.

This is one of the oldest festivals in Patras, and was organised for the first time in 1981 when a group of friends led by Andreas D Andriopoulos decided to hold their own cultural event featuring theatre performances, concerts, international folk groups and art exhibitions. It runs throughout the year, with important productions being held in the Patras Roman Odeum, the University of Patras Conference and Cultural Centre and other venues in the town.
