My wine tour was part of a day trip I did to Duress. The winemaker was very welcoming & enthusiastic about his product. I toured the vineyards, tasted wine in the production area & then was taken to their newly opened restaurant overlooking a lake. I tried 3 different wines - Tempranillo, Merlot & Cab Sauvignon which was served w/a very nice platter w/local meats, cheeses, olives & bread. There was even a tasting of Raki too since this vineyard produces olive oil, wines & raki all using natural methods - no pesticides!! I could have spent the day in this peaceful welcoming place so don't miss it!

Very well organized, excellent descriptions, altogether an amazing experience which I would recommend to all travelers interested in history and archaeology. The artifacts go back a very long time before Christ and are very well laid out in sequence.

The Amphitheater is of Roman origin and was constructed under the reign of Emperor Trajan. He launched many building programs besides this amphitheater, such as the Baths of Trajan, Trajan's Forum and Trajan's Bridge. This is the largest amphitheater ever built in the Balkans and once held over 15,000 people. 1/3 of this site was excavated in the 1960s and the rest in the 1980s. It was destroyed twice by earthquakes. You would think there would be room around this amphitheater to keep it safe and protected but that is not the case. There are many houses around it at not too far a distance. It is said that these building efforts have really hurt the long term preservation of the site. In 2013 it was named on of the most endangered cultural heritage sites in Europe. Inside, there is grass and dirt in the middle with ancient areas in the perimeter. There is a chapel with a well and an open window to the center. There are several galleries which are cave-like areas where animals and other items were held which mostly are empty or have dirt and weeds in them now. A couple areas are fenced off as the steps down are destroyed and it would be too dangerous to allow people to enter.
