Joined 2022
Argolis is a small province of southern Greece with a long and glorious history, being a meeting place of some of the greatest civilizations in history. In this tour we will visit the three greatest monuments of the region. The first one is Palamidi, an imposing Venetian castle. Then there's Mycenae, a UNESCO world heritage site and the administrative center of the most powerful Bronze Age Greek kingdom. The tour could not be completed without a visit to Epidaurus, a celebrated healing center.

A very beautiful and picturesque settlement, Nafplio is located in the southwest side of the Peloponnese and is famous for being the first capital of Modern Greece. Nowadays, it's a popular tourist destination, famous for its narrow alleys and its Venetian castle, called Palamidi that dominates its skyline.
