The interesting history and fine building of Alikartano. The cafe has pan history, good service, good coffee and an excellent tasty blueberry-raspberry pie.

Nice old manor houses in a green rural landscape along the river. The main building is worth seeing in its floor plan and the interior is tastefully furnished and renovated. The history of the manor is exploration tourism. There is no special investment in the yard and garden. The nature and history trail advertised online in the adjacent creek valley was revealed to be completely unmanaged. Shawl. It was not stated on the website that the main building can only be visited with guided tours held every hour. During the guided tour, a lot of information was gained about the history of the manor, but the guided tour was a bit crunchy and non-interactive. There is a café in the courtyard building. The setting is comfortable, but the price level for the pastries is high (e.g. a piece of berry pie 7 €).

Unfortunately the place was not accessible, but the cafe had really friendly staff and good food

An interesting and fun guided tour. In the summer of -21, the experience was taxed by the renovation of the lower main building, the old main building, which prevented access to the building, half of the courtyard was closed and the nature trail that circled the orders could not be circled. It should also be noted that the museum was not to be visited on its own, but with a guided tour (which I recommend was good). However, I did not notice this on the website. It is therefore advisable to schedule your arrival before the even hour, when the guided tours start in summer -21.

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.
