TRAVELLING AROUND_A rgos
A “NEW CITY”
BUILT ON THE OLD ONE...
Just 11 km from Nafplion, Argos invites
the visitor to a unique trip in time. Its
rich history makes an impression as it is
one of the oldest Greek cities.
Known as the homeland of two great
heroes of mythology, Perseus and
Hercules, it is an endless, timeless “mu-
seum” with unique finds and important
sights such as the Acropolis of Ancient
Argos and the unique Ancient Theater.
Today, it is the second largest city
of the Peloponnese, with intense
commercial activity. A modern city
with lively streets and beautiful neo-
classical buildings such as the Railway
Station building and the well-known
buildings Kostantopouleio and Bou-
soulopouleio.
Besides the great cultural interest,
Argos is a place that is famous for
its “warm” hospitality, gastronomic
pleasures as well as dozens of options
for nightlife.
Stroll around the recently renovated
central square, get lost in the paved
pedestrian streets surrounding it and in-
dulge in the charm of this historic city.
