Beautiful area with beautiful buildings that breathe military history. Well worth seeing and visiting the museum as well as the officer salon restaurant.

The officers' club of the old regiment! A serene and old-time atmosphere with good food at an affordable price!

Cozy but feels like it's haunted here

Nice buildings to walk around and look at. Unfortunately the museum was not open so we were only there for a short time.

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.
