Small dolmen in a well cared for and easily accessible location but very little parking.

Dolmen in perfect condition, easy access area.

It is clean and well-kept in a semi-enclosed space, to put it mildly, but it would be nice to have a green fence on the side of the road so that the houses and the marquee do not appear in the photos.

Beautiful with tables for 7 picnics, ideal to come with children

It is at the foot of the road,... there is no place to park, you leave the car where you can or later... access is free...

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.
