The tap water at the visitor center is potable, but since it is a dry coastal promontory, there are no public drinking fountains along the open ruins. We strongly recommend bringing your own reusable bottle, which can be refilled at the cafe.
Yes! The 1st-century AD Roman Theatre is structurally intact and hosts live theatrical plays, dance performances, and music festivals (such as 'La Notte dei Poeti') during the summer months of July and August.
