It was a surprisingly stunning view from this light tower. Take care to choose the right time and light setting for this visit and then it's worth the 5€ entrance fee.

A must visit sight! You can drive there from Tallinn in 50 minutes, visit the Lighthouse, watching everywhere from top of the lighthouse. Cliff is also a lovely see sight.

The place where the sea and the sun kiss you at the same time. I really love this place. We were there when temperature was almost 22°. I recommend to visit little bit high temperature like 28 or 30° otherwise bring Jacket with you. Overall, great place to visit.

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.
