The museum is beautiful and very interesting. The staff is not so polite.

A great museum full of interesting archaeological items. Their coin collection was outstanding as were their sculptures. I also enjoyed the icons and paintings as well. It was very affordable and I had the place all to myself at this time of year, 3 weeks ago. My only complaint would be that some of the lights were not on during my visit so I couldn't see a lot of the coins and smaller objects very well. This is the reason for four stars. You can take pictures but no flash.

You absolutely have to go here if you are staying in sunny beach if you want a day of history and culture. Want an amazing story this place has going back millennia! Probably best to get the boat here, but the train is also fun.

A must-visit place in the old town of Nessebar. The museum contains various ancient artifacts typical for the region from different ages. There is a collection of Orthodox Christian icons in the basement. Despite the reputation of Sunny beach, it looks like local people prefer the idea for cultural tourism and put efforts to maintain well and develop this as well as other smaller museums in the old town.

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.
