- Explore the excavation site itself, passing statues, marvelous mosaics, and amazing artifacts that all stand in their original sites.
- Walk the same paths as the ancient Greeks, learning more about their every day life, and take some time to visit the theater that's still so well-preserved that the acoustics are nearly perfect and the theater is still used by modern actors and festivals.
- Stop at the museum that exhibits a number of statues and relics from the ancient city, including the Hydravlis, a wind instrument, and a mosaic that details the Villa of Dionysus in vibrant images.
