Cute small church with a colorful cemetery.

Beautiful area with both lake castle and church and now with a nice footpath, really nice trip, just one but the small wooden bridge in the reeds is very unstable to walk on

Nice view of the fjord, the lake and its birds.

Beautiful church and beautiful cemetery, both very well maintained. The church is closed to the public but the cemetery is open to them. We have access to a very beautiful view of the fields where we can see animals such as cows or geese. The view also allows us to observe the fjord which is also very beautiful.

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.
