The parish funds 159e / day. Very bad way to act. Personally, I would do otherwise.

Kustavin kaunis kirkko taajamassa, päätien varrella. Kannattaa käydä katsomassa. Koko kirkon miljöö on hyvin säilynyt ja hyvin pidetty kunnossa, vanhaa kunnioittaen.

Beautiful simple wooden church with some interesting details including organ, preaching chair and handcrafted beautiful sailing ships. The joining bell tower adds a nice touch to this idyllic place of worship.

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.
