MYCENAE, Day trip from Athens. Argos and Nafplio.

If you are interested in Greek History, then the suggested day trip from Athens to walk around Mykines, Argos and Nafplio in the Peloponnese is well worth considering.

You can experience 3500 years of Greek (Hellenic) history and development in one easy drive or tour from Athens

1st stop is the Bronze age site of the city state of The Mycenaean civilisation dating from about 1600bc, Mycenae, by Mykines about 90 minutes easy coastal drive from Athens in a hire car or organised tour.

Next about 20 mins from Mycenae is Argos, the oldest town in Europe, having been continuously occupied for 7000 years, and with its amazing old Roman Theatre, Roman Baths, and Roman Agora which are easily explored at the foot of Larissa Hill and date from about 500bc.

Finally we finish the day in the medieval fortress town of Nafplio, another lovely 20 minute drive from Argos. This is the perfect place to unwind and relax after the heat of the day, with shopping, bars restaurants, 3 fortresses and should you wish to stay the night rather than drive back to Athens, many hotels.
