Ancient Messini

One of the most important cities of the ancient world. It was founded in 370 BC and
it came to light, mainly thanks to professor P. Themelis, after 1986. Excavations in the site have revealed a theater (3rd-2nd cen- tury BC), the Asclepieion, the Arsinoe fountain, sanctuaries, Roman mansions, the Stadium and the Gymnasium. The theater, which has undergone an exceptional restoration, reopened in 2013 after 1,300 years of “silence”, hence becoming a cultural oasis.
