Athens Local
A rich olive and oranges-producing landscape, the Argolis region is an hour and 45 minutes from Athens. If you’re interested in Greek history or curious about its mythology, then this destination will fill your cup with its multitude of archaeological sites. From Palamidi Castle, snap pics of medieval Nafplio (the main city in this area). Must-visit spots are the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus and Mycenae. Go wine tasting at Domaine Skouras Winery, or snorkel out to the sunken city of Epidaurus.
