painterdave Says: Built during the 12th century, this castle was captured by the Crusaders, but in 1388 the Republic of Venice took possession. The Ottomans plundered the castle in 1397 and most of the population were taken as slaves. Later on the Venetians came back and settled in with...
Sarah21683 Says: Lerna is a very interesting site. An apsidal building was found there located underneath a large tumulus. There are different theories as to why it existed and why the tumulus was erected over it after its destruction. There are also smaller buildings around the large...
Sarah21683 Says: The museum at Argos is worth a visit. The armor shown on the main Argos page is one of only a few complete sets found in Greece.
AndyRG Says: Next to the sea, to the direction to Nafplio, there are a lot of clubs and musical centres, very close to each other. Most of them are open during the summer, as this favorite one ("GOA")...
Durfun Says: Not a warning really, but an odd situation!I'd tasted local beers in Greece upto this point. Mythos in Athens, and Alfa in Delphi.So, I wanted to support local brews here too, not to say that they don't taste good - they're nice :)But, late at night, my Dad wanted to retreat...
AndyRG Says: It is a... pyramid, although a small one (4th century BC). You can find it if you go to the village Elliniko, near Argos. It is said that it was rather a grave or a small fort which was protecting the road to Arcadia (the nearby prefecture).
AndyRG Says: The fecund land of the large region around Argos offers thousands tons of oranges, which basicly are exported. These trees belong to me... Do you want to send you some?
AndyRG Says: It is one of the biggest ancient theaters, 20.000 people could watch the performances in antiquity! It surely was the largest in ancient Greece. The ruins of the theater put into the shade the roman baths and the conservatoire (4th century, 100 m far from the theater).You...
AndyRG Says: This church is in the middle of the central square of the city, around it there are only-pedestrian streets, nice shops and bars. It is dedicated to the memory of bishop Petros, the patron saint of Argos, who lived in the 9th century.
AndyRG Says: This nice place is 5 km SW of Argos. There is running water, which comes under the foundation of the church you see, Zoodohos Pigi (I was baptised there!). You can also visit the historical caves, Greek soldiers were using them as a shelter during the war for independence...
AndyRG Says: It is located on the top of a hill (280 m), from where you have the best view of the city. There was an acropolis, but it was... displaced by these mediaeval walls. On other slopes of the same hill, you can visit two nice monasteries.
AndyRG Says: Argos, as you can see it from Larisa castle. The plain is too fertile, basicly there are orange trees. You can notice, at the background, next to the sea, Nafplio - which is the capital of the prefecture, Nomos Argolidos. It is just 12 km far away.

We only visited the museum at Argos because the ancient site is under the modern city. We also had some frappes after our museum visit. The site of Lerna is just outside of Argos.
