Archaeological Sites of Argolida: Where Myth Was Born
Argolida isn't just a beautiful corner of the Peloponnese — it's where Greek myth meets history. Here Perseus founded Mycenae, here Hercules lived out his labours at Tiryns, here the most perfect theatre of antiquity was built at Epidaurus.
Three UNESCO monuments sit just minutes from Nafplio. At Midea and Dendra, you'll see where the Mycenaean panoply displayed at Nafplio's Archaeological Museum was actually found. At Argos, Greece's oldest continuously inhabited city, a 20,000-seat ancient theatre stands alongside a Roman aqueduct and baths.
You don't have to choose between beach and history — in Argolida, antiquity is always just a short drive away.
