Oropos is one of the primary ports in New Olympus from other countries. Most anyone who comes in peace and intends to make a home, trade, or simply visit New Olympus comes through Oropos. This bustling city is a combination of the efforts of both Hermes and Dionysus, the result of which is a bustling metropolis full of life and energy. The docks of Landfast are home to the travelers, and the primary place to go for entertainment, food, drink, and fun. Beyond the docks, the people of Tious and Eretria who own land here are typically rich merchants, sailors, and entertainers. Chalkis is known to be the seedy underbelly of Oropos, and people will usually avoid talking about it.
Things in Oropos are more expensive than most city-states, and this is one of the most welcoming cities to those who have deep pockets, or lots of resources to trade. Drachma spends easier here than nearly anywhere else in New Olympus, but trading for fine goods is acceptable as well. The 'night life' abounds here, and with such a heavy concentration of people, Oropos is easily able to withstand most attacks by monsters, or other neighboring countries. That isn't to say Oropos isn't without its danger, but you are much more likely to find trouble in the form of political intrigue, a drunken night-lifer, or just someone with a desperate man with a blunt object.
Oropos is also home to the Orpos Theater, the largest amphitheater in New Olympus. Located in Tious, people come from miles around to see these plays, and often spend great quantities of money, making this one of the premier destinations of New Olympus.
