Fantastic scenery and at the same time a nice experience. As soon as you reach the castle you are in the 21st century of the Middle Ages ?. The hosts are very friendly and the service is great. The food is great. Reaching the room is a bit difficult, but that's just nagging at the highest level, because who can claim to have slept in a castle?? ☺️

This is an old nice castle, which is used as an hotel, surrounded from apple trees and vineyards. They have nice pool with a wonderful view. It is very difficult to get a hotel room, since a lot of people want to stay here.

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.
