The Aloni Theater in Agios Georgios Nileas of Pelion was founded in 1995. The Theater was an abandoned threshing floor of Agios Georgios Nileas in Pelion, where, on the initiative of the pioneering artist GiorgosTriantafyllou and a group of friends, a beautiful theater was created in 1995 in the nature of Pelion with view of Pagasitikos gulf and excellent acoustics.

The broader purpose of researching the work of G. Triantafyllou is the highlighting of the human imprint on objects or places of historical importance and their transformation into works of art or places of culture.

It functioned initially as a community theater and later as a municipal theater of the Municipality of South Pelion, while since 2012 it has continued its remarkable course under the management of the municipal non-profit company “FRIENDS OF THE ALONI THEATER“.Volunteering is one of the central axes around which the theater’s activities move as a whole. It is carried out under the auspices of the Ministry of of Culture and is registered in the register of cultural institutions of Greece.

The Aloni Theater is the only stone-built ancient Greek-style theater in the prefecture of Magnesia and every year it attracts audiences from all over the world. Every August it hosts many carefully curated theatrical and musical events, ancient drama seminars, piano festivals, etc. as a result of which it has been characterized by the press and other cultural bodies as “the Little Epidaurus of Pelion”.

A significant part of the theater’s operation is due to the active participation of volunteers in collaboration with the founding team (under the guidance of the artistic director, Mr. George Triantafyllou).
