What a beautiful garden and beautiful castle, we had never been here. Nice friendly welcome and coffee with apple pie included in the entrance fee. Fantastic organization with an eye for detail. Also got an explanation about the garden and castle by a very friendly hostess. We will definitely come again next year, thank you for the wonderful day.

Great wedding location located in a beautiful garden. You can get married both inside and outside and nothing is too much for the staff!

Open to visitors twice a year. Beautiful, well-maintained garden. Many volunteers work on this all year round.

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.
