The yard of the church is planted by different plants/flowers. They (church people) kept only narrow path to walk in between to reach the fence - from where there is a view to the Mtskheta, river Mtkvati and Tbilisi. Years ago there was amazing green grass growing in the yard of the church and was full access to the fence from where you could see Mtskheta, river Mtkvari and Tbilisi.

It worths a visit for the nice panoramic views of Mtskheta and Tbilisi. Better to leave your car at the town and walk up to the Monastery.

It's absolutely worth to go there. The view is fantastic. Right now the road up there is under construction. You can drive by car but actually I would recommend a 4x4. Maybe in a few month they finished their work. I did it with my offroad-motorbike and it was fun.

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.
