- Looking down over the excavated theatre at Soli, curved tiers of stone seating step down on the right toward a flat central area. Low rubble walls and scattered blocks lie in the foreground and middle ground. Beyond, cultivated fields, scattered trees and a road lead to a wide sea with small dark shapes on the water.
