The doors were locked so we could not enter. But it is a nice view from the outside.

Mistra Ruins, perched on the mountain, accessed through narrow and winding poorly maintained roads, full of churches and monasteries. Although they are mostly destroyed, unfortunately. Our Evangelist is one of them. It is highly recommended to bring water in summer and a coat in winter. It goes without saying the need to wear protective sports shoes. There are parking spaces at both entrances, the first at the beginning of the city, at the foot of the mountain. A second, a third from the top and the king's palace. Admission costs 12 euros.

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.
