Argolis (Greek Argolída), is one of the regional units of Greece, situated in the eastern part of the Peloponnese peninsula. It is safe to say that no visit to Greece is complete without a trip to Corinth and Argolis, places that have been known since the dawn of history.
The Ephorate of Antiquities of Argolida, a regional service of the Ministry of Culture based in the town of Nafplion, is making a tremendous effort to protect and display the antiquities which are found within its area of competence.
Nafplion, the first capital of Greece after the war of independence, with its exquisite Old Town, stunning seafront, narrow paved streets and beautiful collection of Venetian houses and elegant mansions, is one of the most beautiful towns in Greece. Its three fortresses of Palamidi, Akronafplia and the Bourtzi stand as the main symbols of the town’s ancient and medieval past.
