Very good cake, very nice people and great view, no entrance fee. Close to a small playground. Definitely recommend it

Not really what one expects of a Burg. More like a Youth Hostel in the middle of a peacefull forest. Hardly anything of a Burg left. More like a viewing platform. .

Very nice place to visit. Parking is 5 min away from it. There is a volley ball field and a rope slide and bbq by the parking. There is a small coffee place in the castle where they sell cake, coffee and beer.

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.
