One of the most beautiful regions of the Peloponnese, Argolida lies on the eastern part of the peninsula.
There are extremely interesting archaeological sites in Argolida: Epidaurus, which was famous in antiquity for its sanctuary to the god of healing Asklepios, with its well-preserved theatre of extraordinary acoustics; the ancient city of Mycenae with its famous "Lion's Gate" and domed tombs; Nafplio, the first capital of independent Greece.
