Ancient Messene Audio Tour

Start at the visitor entrance to Ancient Messene and walk toward the theatre. Over the next eighteen stops, the city takes shape through ordinary questions. Where did people draw water? How did officials measure goods at the market? The Arsinoe Fountain and the measuring tables beside the Agora give those questions a place on the ground.

Farther along the circuit, the sanctuaries give way to the Gymnasium and Stadium, where training and competition had a place in civic life. Follow the numbered listening points for roughly three kilometers, or select a stop by hand. The app keeps your place and includes guidance for finding your way back to the entrance.
