It's interesting that, at least according to the updated information on Google, you can go to 4:00 p.m., but to vote in advance on June 4, 2024, you should still be able to get here until 6:00 p.m. Such an information point. Ans covers how an out-of-towner is doing when I try after four. After all, there's still time to go to the main library to lose your voice if it doesn't work out here.

I have done business with waltti services on behalf of myself and a friend several times, and a few times the customer service was a rather grumpy older woman who always turned away and did not serve at all, saying that the fault was mine and not the card/service. Always had to come back in such a way that he is not even there, otherwise received good service and the problem was always fixed when the customer service person was cooperative.

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.
