\"Peristyle<\/a>
Peristyle of the Domus of Ekdikos Georgios overlooking the 5th-6th century CE walls of Nicopolis.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Continued From Nicopolis, Epirus Part I<\/a><\/p>\n

Roughly 250 meters inside the Araporta, meeting back up with the National Road Preveza-Ioannina, is the entrance to the Archaeological Site of Nikopolis. During the summer it is open Wednesday through Monday from 8:00 to 20:00 and is closed on Tuesday. Through September and October, the closing time gradually drops to 18:00 in half hour, half month increments where it remains through the winter, still being closed on Tuesdays. Admission is 8 Euros as part of the combination ticket with the museum and odeon.<\/p>\n

The archaeological area is primarily made up of two components, the Domus of Ekdikos Georgios taking up the western side of the area and Basilica A on the east. In the northeast corner of the site are the so-called Baths of Cleopatra, actually the remains of a private residence. These are, for the most part, not visible from within the archaeological area. One circular room with a rectangular exterior is visible from along the road outside the archaeological site, though. It can sort of be seen from a rise inside the site, but it was pretty heavily overgrown on that side. This is likely from another large domus that was abandoned and demolished in order to build Basilica A.<\/p>\n
