🇬🇷 Modern Argos, Greece. Should you visit?

Описание: Argos is the oldest town in Greece, and Europe, continuously occupied for 7000 years. It is likely the oldest, or second oldest town in the entire world.

Is it worth a visit? It has amazing history and looking around at Larissa Castle, and the Roman ruins and town, you can see 3500 years of Greek History, from the Mycenaean acropolis on the hill, through the dominant city state of Argos, to the Roman occupation and the medieval Frankish castle to the modern town.

Located about 10km from Mycenae and 12 km from the town of Nafplio, it is easy to visit if you are in the area and is hugely under-rated and a town, and archaeological site. it should be on your Greek tour is you are visiting the area.

It is an easy day trip from Athens, taking about 90 minutes in car and combined with Nafplio and Mycenae I would highly recommend a stop if you are interested in seeing Greek history at it's best. It is after all the town of Greek Mythology, Hercules and King Pheidon, who famously beat the neighbouring Spartan City state in 650BC.
