Looking for a great Sunday lunch, we ended up here at Årsta Castle. The food is great, had lasagna which was really good. What I didn't like was that they didn't have a buffet. You got a plate with the food on and that's it. But I do understand too, because there wasn't many people eating. Great and beautiful outdoor seating, and a beautiful dekor inside.

Great food! We had lunch on a Sunday, a hand of options were available a la carte - husman dishes for 165 sek. The ambiance and the service are great, it seems to be the go to restaurant for the ones using the golf course. But it’s definitely worth the visit for those just passing by.

Nice and quiet, spacious and airy. Food is good quality and relatively inexpensive. Wine is boring but cheap.

Jäyteschyst. Nu ser msn och känner man atmodfären på en golfklubb. Restustanten har väldigt välsmakande mat och en lagom matsedel

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.
