Back to Greece property home page

In the area of eastern Peloponnese lie three significant historical centres which are easily accessible from the sea. Mycenae at the head of the Argolic Gulf was the centre of the Mycenaean period, which succeeded the Minoans and provided the material for Homer's epics. Athens was, of course the centre of Classical Greece, although it is all too easy to attribute too much to this ancient city and forget the contributions to art, oratory, science and commerce from other city - states all over Greece. Lastly, the fleets of Hydra and Spetses were of key importance in determining the outcome of the War of Independence and both Nafplio and Aegina were at different times the capitals of the newly liberated Greece. In the same areathere are the well preserved ruins of the ancient city of Olympia, sacred place of the ancient Greeks and also the place where the Olympic Games of Antiquity were once held.
