From the hill where the ancient palace is located, we can have a clear view across the Argolid, all the way to the Saronic Gulf. Epidaurus was a small city in ancient Greece, on the Argolid Peninsula at the Saronic Gulf.

Delphi is famous as the ancient sanctuary that grew rich as Pythia the oracle sat on the tripod throne and gave her prophesies about important decisions to be made throughout the ancient classical world. The ancient Greeks considered Delphi to be the Omphalos (Navel) of their World. This was also represented by the stone monument that is known as the Omphalos of Delphi.

Epidaurus was very popular during the ancient times, due to the Asclepeion. The city was famous for being the most succesful healing center of the Classical world and for its Theatre. The ancient theatre of Epidaurus is known woorldwide, untill nowadays, for its amazing acoustics, symmetry and beauty.

Olympia, a sanctuary of ancient Greece, is known for being the site of the Olympic Games in classical times. The games were held every four years, from the 8th century BC to the 4th century AD and they were of great religous, cultural and political importance for the ancient Greeks . The Temple of Hera, the Temple of Zeus, the Prytaneion and the Philippeion, are some of the greatest sites that we shall discover.
