Nafplion | Mycenae | Olympia

Nafplion

Nafplion is a beautiful town at the northern end of the Gulf of Argolis. It is the gateway to many of the historic sites of ancient Greece. On the way to Nafplion, we visited the ruins of the historic site of Epidaurus.

Epidaurus was a major healing center of Greece for individuals seeking help with their ailments by either divine intervention or medicines administered by the resident priests.
