What to see in Argos
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Argos<\/picture><\/b>As you walk around Argos, you will feel like you have traveled back in time to the Bronze Age<\/strong>. This city was a major power of the Mycenaean civilization<\/strong>, and its archaeological monuments testify to its glory. You will marvel at the ancient agora, where the people gathered for trade and politics. You will also admire the magnificent theater, carved into the hillside, that could host 20,000 spectators.<\/p>\n

\"Argos<\/picture>After exploring the theater of Argos, you can enjoy a nice surprise. Just take the national road to Tripoli and head south for three kilometers. Then look for the sign to Kefalari – Elliniko<\/strong> on your right. You are about to discover something amazing.<\/p>\n

\"Argos<\/picture>Make sure you don\u2019t miss the archaeological site of Elliniko. There you will find one of the rare \u201cpyramids\u201d that exist in Greece. This mysterious building has puzzled the experts for its age and purpose. But you will be amazed by its appearance.<\/p>\n

Argos has a rich cultural heritage that spans 7,000 years of continuous habitation. You can visit one of the oldest Archaeological Museums<\/strong> in Greece and admire the neoclassical architecture of the city. Also, you can see the majestic Acropolis of Larissa<\/strong> that overlooks the modern city and the impressive church of St. Peter<\/strong> that stands in the center. You will never run out of things to do and see in Argos. Every corner hides a new secret.<\/p>\n

Tip: Argos is known as the \u201cHomeland of Orange\u201d by the locals. And for a good reason! Their oranges are juicy and delicious. Don\u2019t forget to take some with you before you leave.<\/p>\n
