A very interesting place to know about sea, history of fishing! Huge collection of different things. The owner of this museum is a very charismatic man with a good sense of humour.

One of the most original maritime museums I've ever seen - a good portion of the boats hang in mid-air! Quality and presentation over quantity - imore museums around the world shoulf follow the same pattern!

This is a place where the museum owner really lives so, walking here, you can see some things actually used by him mixed with museum exhibits. At a glance, everything looks messy but, looking into details, you can see a lot of interesting things. It is better to ask the owner more.

Unique museum. The people do live there. So you are walking through their living room. Different items with maritime theme.

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.
