Great disappointment for this visit to a indeed very beautiful park but the cost is disproportionate to the expectation We traveled 300 km to see hydrangeas in bloom I do not advise and obviously the very limited number of visitors proves me right

Magnificent place! A must see ! Very well maintained English garden. Even if you can only visit the garden and the postern, the castle being private, it is well worth it! View of the sea in the distance!

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.
