Argolis

Corinth - The Corinth Canal links the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It traverses the narrow Isthmus of Corinth, effectively separating the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, which arguably turns the peninsula into an island.

Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos) - Corinth was a city-state located on the Isthmus of Corinth, the narrow land bridge connecting the Peloponnese to mainland Greece, situated approximately halfway between Athens and Sparta.

Archaeological Site Mycenae - Mycenae is an archaeological site near Mykines in Argolis, northeastern Peloponnese, Greece. In the second millennium BC, Mycenae was a major center of Greek civilization, a military stronghold that dominated much of southern Greece, Crete, the Cyclades, and parts of southwest Anatolia.

Citadel and Treasury of Atreus - The Treasury of Atreus, or Tomb of Agamemnon, is a large tholos or beehive tomb on Panagitsa Hill at Mycenae, Greece, built during the Bronze Age around 1250 BC. The stone lintel above the entrance weighs 120 tons, with dimensions that make it the largest in the world. The tomb was used for an unknown duration. Mentioned by the Roman geographer Pausanias in the 2nd century AD, it was still visible in 1879 when the German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann discovered the shaft graves under the “agora” in the Acropolis at Mycenae.

The town was the capital of the First Hellenic Republic and of the Kingdom of Greece, from the start of the Greek Revolution in 1821 until 1834. Nafplio is now the capital of the regional unit of Argolis.

The town is connected to a small island off the east coast of the Peloponnese. The island is linked to the mainland by a short causeway 200m in length. Its area consists mostly of a large plateau some 100 meters above sea level, up to 300 meters wide and 1 km long, the site of a powerful medieval fortress.

Numerous cafes, restaurants, and souvenir shops are located inside it. Visitors will spend the entire day inside the Fortress as there are many attractions to admire.

Church of Christ in Chains (Christos Elkomenos) - Upon entering the Castle, one of the most impressive sights is the Church of Christ in Chains. This 12th-century basilica with a dome was a very important church during Byzantine times, as it is believed to have been built under the orders of Emperor Andronikos II.

Archaeological Collection of Monemvasia - The archaeological collection of the fortress of Monemvasia is housed in an old mosque in the main square in the lower town, opposite the town cathedral of Elkomenos Christos. This small museum contains artifacts primarily found during work to repair the monuments and surface exploration carried out over the past decades. The collection consists mainly of architectural sculptures and ceramic objects used in daily life. The sculptures are from the church of Aghia Sofia and the ruined mid-Byzantine church excavated at the Georgoulas residence, dating from the end of the 12th century. The latter is one of the earliest monuments in the fortress with a marble altar screen.

Giannis Ritsos House - Yannis Ritsos was a very important and famous Greek poet. His output was enormous, his life heroic and eventful, his voice an embodiment of national courage, and his mind tirelessly active. Visitors can explore his house inside the castle and learn more about his poems.

Agia Sofia Church - The Church of Agia Sofia is among the oldest and most important Byzantine churches in Greece. It stands on the highest point of Monemvasia and offers a great view of the Aegean Sea. This church was originally established in the 12th century by the Byzantine emperor Andronicus II. During Venetian times, it was a Catholic church. The view is worth the 20-minute walk needed to reach the top.

Taygetos, near ancient Sparta, it served as the capital of the Byzantine Despotate of the Morea in the 14th and 15th centuries, experiencing a period of prosperity and cultural flowering. The site remained inhabited throughout the Ottoman period, when it was mistaken by Western travelers for ancient Sparta. In the 1830s, it was abandoned, and the new town of Sparti was built approximately eight kilometers to the east.
