We stopped to eat lunch at this wonderfully remodeled location. They have kept the authentic look, but modernized the interior and put in a small coffee/tea house and restaurant. The menu has something for everybody, especially hungry bicyclists on vacation. The area is like a backyard type of experience and the inside is like someone’s living room. They rent out several spaces for company events too. It’s a hidden gem in every sense of the word an definitely worth a visit! I’d go out of my way to go here again!

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.
