Soli theatre
Description
The excavated theatre at Soli is seen from above: curved tiers of stone seating rise on the right above a flat paved area, with a row of upright stone blocks along its edge. Low walls and fallen blocks run into the foreground on the left, and a flat plain with scattered trees extends beyond to a stretch of sea at the left edge and distant hills. A number label is visible in the bottom corner.

- A view from above across the excavated theatre at Soli. Curved rows of stone seating rise on the right around a flat paved area, and a long excavated trench with low stone foundations runs along the left. Beyond the flat plain on the left, the sea shows as a pale band under a hazy sky, with hills along the horizon.
