Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Town or village
Nauplie
Nauplie offers an elegant seafront, Venetian alleys, lively squares and the Palamedes fortress that dominates the entire bay. The city is a very pleasant base to radiate towards Mycenes, Epidaure and the beaches of the Argolide.
Town or village
Épidaure
Épidaure is best known for its ancient theatre, whose stone steps open onto the hills of the sanctuary of Asclepios. The site is not limited to the stage: temples, portals and medical remains remind an old place of care as well as of spectacle.
Town or village
Mycènes
Mycènes The site has a more archaic Greece, with the Lions' Gate, the cyclopean walls, the royal tombs and the palace on its dry hill. The site hits with its raw material, its huge blocks and views towards the Argolide, far from the more familiar classical columns.
