Description of Argos
Argos is the oldest continuously inhabited town in
Greece (stretching back an astonishing 6000 years). Today most of its past glory lies buried beneath the existing modern town. Although
Argos is a modern city with
hotels and
restaurants, is usually overshadowed by the nearby famous resort of
Nafplion, but is worth a visit, especially as an alternative base during the summer high season.
How to get to Argos
Nafplio is 135 km far from Athens. Follow the Athens-Corinth highway and then head to Tripoli, following the signs Argos-Nafplio.
