Travel to the Peloponnese and visit the Argolid,
one of the most interesting regions in Greece. Mycenae, the prehistoric
citadel with its cyclopean walls, the lion gate, the royal tombs,
the treasury of Atreus, invites you to travel back to the time when
the great Greek myths were born. Mycenae is 124 kms Southwest of Athens.
Drive 63 kms more and visit the best preserved classical
theater in Epidauros, where Asklepios, the god of healing had his
sanctuary.
In the meantime see Nafplion, the first capital
of Greece and the most elegant town of Mainland Greece. The Venetian
fortress of Palamidi, the citadel of Acronafplia, the fortified islet
of Bourtzi in the bay, the neoclassical houses, make Nafplion a fascinating
place.
