A very nice and calming place. Very orderly all around. And these nice hedgerows. Worth a visit.

Very atmospheric with lights around the graves outside the church. It's extra nice when it's dark outside. The church is very beautiful inside with, among other things, a magnificent altarpiece and stately chandeliers, which hang down from the ceiling. The size of the church is just enough to hear what is said during services and masses.

Beautiful stone church in fantastic lakeside surroundings. The church is located along the winding village street with well-preserved houses from different ages. Well worth a visit

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.
