GR PELOPONNESE ARCADIA ORCHOMENOS ACROPOLIS

Above right: The public space of the ancient agora, serving commercial and political purposes. - Above left and below: The large North Stoa facing southward to the agora had an outer Doric and an inner Ionic collonade.

Above: The Bouleuterion or West Stoa delimits the agora to the West, sitting on a somewhat lower level. Unfortunately it was fenced and locked so I could not take a closer look.

Above and below left: What a disgrace! The ancient theater of the 4th centry BC - the highlight of Orchomenos - is also fenced and locked. What are they afraid of? I could only see the remains, including the elaborate seats of honour in the first row and something like a throne, from a distance. - Below right: A unique view from the theater, lying at an altitude of 800 m, to the majestic mountain range and the valley in the West.
