The amphitheatre in Zante town is built on the site of the Old
English cemetery in Zakynthos. It has been designed in accordance with
the style of the ancient Greek amphitheatres so that someone sitting at
the back and top of the amphitheatre will be able to hear and see just
as easily as someone at the very front.
The view from the amphitheatre in Zakynthos Town is really rather
beautiful. Overlooking the town of Zante you glimpse the sea in the
distance, and of course the light of the moon over the sea adds a touch
of magic to the performance!
Even if you visit during the day, and don’t manage to catch a
performance here, you will be impressed by the ancient Greek style of
the amphitheatre and the sweeping views down to the port in Zante Town.
