dont walk uphill, there is parking near the entrance. Ruins of a medieval fortress. Explore remnants of history, climb the old walls, and imagine life centuries ago. Perfect for history buffs and nature lovers. ???

Beautiful but ruined, within the forest, partial conservation is going on.

A short (but rather exhausting) walk uphill from the parking lot. But it's worth it. The tower has been renovated. The walls are in ruins, but still pretty cool. The road is paved and you can reach the site with a vehicle. There is a small parking lot up there. But beware, the road is pretty narrow. I love places like this, therefore 5 stars.

Argos Theater

The ancient Argos Theater was built in 320 BC. and is located in Argos, Greece against Larissa Hill. Nearby from this site is Agora, Roman Odeon, and the Baths of Argos. The theater is one of the largest architectural developments in Greece and was renovated in ca 120 AD.

The Hellenistic theater at Argos is cut into the hillside of the Larisa, with 90 steps up a steep incline, forming a narrow rectilinear cavea. Among the largest theaters in Greece, it held about 20,000 spectators and is divided by two landings into three horizontal sections. Staircases further divide the cavea into four cunei, corresponding to the tribes of Argos A high wall was erected to prevent unauthorized access into the theatron and may have helped the acoustics, but it is said the sound quality is still very good today.

Around 120 CE, both theaters were renovated in the Roman style.
