The citadel is situated on a small hill just 26m above sea level and it was a stronghold in ancient times as the sea was at that time a lot closer making it almost impregnable. Its history continued until the end of the Mycenean Era when it was deserted and in 468 BC it was destroyed by the Argives.<\/p>\n

Tiryns<\/strong>\u00a0was first excavated by Heinrich Schliemann in 1884 and until now the ruins are clearly visible of the palace, forecourts, and other areas on two levels with tunnels and drainage apparent. The walls are made of rough stones some of which are 3.5m x 1.5m, and the construction of them caused wonder in Ancient times and the myth is that only the Cyclops could have placed the stones there.<\/p>\n

An extremely worthwhile visit for anyone visiting the Argolida are also the\u00a0Mycenaean Dam<\/strong>\u00a0and the\u00a0Tholos Tomb<\/strong>\u00a0(beehive shape) of\u00a0Tiryns<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The modern town of\u00a0Nea Tiryntha<\/strong>\u00a0has all amenities a person could need including supermarkets, post office etc.[\/vc_column_text][mk_button_gradient dimension=”flat” size=”medium” grandient_color_from=”#b8860b” grandient_color_to=”#b78e26″ grandient_color_style=”radial” url=”https:\/\/ktimaanastasia.reserve-online.net\/”]\u039a\u03c1\u03ac\u03c4\u03b7\u03c3\u03b7[\/mk_button_gradient][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_padding_divider size=”70″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row id=”argos”][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”Argos, ARGOLIDA” title_align=”separator_align_left” color=”custom” accent_color=”#b8860b”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Argos\u00a0<\/strong>is known to be the oldest continually inhabited city in Europe and as such enjoys a great deal of visitors.

There are many things to see and do in\u00a0Argos<\/strong>\u00a0including streets lined with boutiques, tavernas, restaurants & bars and every Wednesday and Saturday a large\u00a0market<\/strong>\u00a0is held offering local produce, household goods and many stalls of clothes and shoes.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0archaeological museum<\/strong>\u00a0is very interesting to see along with the ancient theatre where plays are held at intervals throughout the summer months. The\u00a0Castle of Larissa<\/strong>\u00a0high on the mountain above\u00a0Argos<\/strong>\u00a0is a beautiful spot with panoramic views of the whole area.

Close proximity to Athens and excellent roads make the journey just an hour and a half. Once passing over the Corinth Canal and into the Peloponnese peninsula one is very quickly in to the Argolida. It is easily recognisable by the hundreds of citrus trees lining the sides of the road. The Argolida area is a major producer of citrus fruits – oranges, mandarins and grapefruit.<\/p>\n

Tourists visit from all over the world using Nafplion and surrounding areas as a base from which to visit the famous archaeological sites of the\u00a0Peloponnese<\/strong>\u00a0and take advantage of the great beaches of the area.<\/p>\n

Mycenae (responsible for a whole Era), the theatre of Epidavros (which holds plays all though the summer months), Ancient Tiryntha, Midea, Lerna, Iraio and the wonderful pyramid of Ellinikon are some of the attractions of the Argolida.[\/vc_column_text][mk_button_gradient dimension=”flat” size=”medium” grandient_color_from=”#b8860b” grandient_color_to=”#b78e26″ grandient_color_style=”radial” url=”https:\/\/ktimaanastasia.reserve-online.net\/”]Book now[\/mk_button_gradient][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_padding_divider size=”70″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row id=”peloponnhsos”][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”The PELOPONNESE” title_align=”separator_align_left” color=”custom” accent_color=”#b8860b”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]The\u00a0Peloponnese<\/strong>\u00a0peninsula is considered by some to be an island although, it is in fact part of the\u00a0mainland of Greece<\/strong>, separated only by the man-made\u00a0Corinth Canal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The scenery is varied around the\u00a0Peloponnese<\/strong>, wonderful long sandy\u00a0beaches<\/strong>\u00a0and some of the highest\u00a0mountains<\/strong>in Greece combine to make the\u00a0Peloponnese<\/strong>\u00a0a most interesting places to visit. Add to this the wealth of archaeological sites and other places of interest and there is a winning combination.<\/p>\n

The sites of Ancient Corinth, Acrocorinth, Olympia, Mystra, Monemvasia, Sparta, Athens, Nemea are just some of the archaeological sites of the Peloponnese, for more see our\u00a0Argolida<\/strong>\u00a0section above.<\/p>\n
