ARGOS (Town) ARGOLIS
On the one hand the geographic mark of the city, placed within the
boundaries of Argolis fertile
plain, close to road axes that link North Peloponnese
to Aegean and Mediterranean
Sea under the defensive stand of its high hills (Larissa
279m, Aspida 80m) on the
other, underlie the main reasons that Argos was inhabited continually.
Argos is the most important agricultural, industrial and export center
of the wider Argolis region,
due to systematic cultivation and industries of processing, packaging and distribution
of citrus products as well as those of building material, marble, distillery and
winery, processing and standardization of olive oil, pump manufacturing and package
machinery etc.
Argos, commercial center on the region from ancient times, continues
to be the area’s trade center even today. Its inhabitants surpass the 30.000
people and that makes Argos the most dense of Argolis
Prefecture.

TOURNIKI (Settlement) ARGOS
Tourniki, a village situated on Mountain
Artemisio, is isolated and usually snowed during winter. It is more crowded
on summer, when visitors are attracted by its beauty.
The village’s main feast takes place on the fifteenth of August.
However, things used to be different on that day years and years ago. People used
to dance, sing and enjoy themselves until dawn.
In this area, vegetation is not abundant. But still, trees such as
oaks, fir trees and pine trees cover many square kilometres.
On Mountain Aremisio
near the village of Krioneri,
there is the sacred forest of Artemis. A myth says that the forest contains ten
poisonous and deadly trees, a real danger for animals such as horses. Its scientific
name is Taxus Vakata.

ZOGA (Settlement) ARGOS
Four kilometres southwest of the Pyramid
and fourteen kilometres away from Argos
lies the ‘village’ of Zoga (few houses among oaks).
It would be worthwhile visiting the chapel of St. Nikolaos, which
is an hour walk from the village. It is a chapel built into an isolated rock by
a monk called Gerasimos at the beginnings of the 19th century.
After Zoga, there is an isolated place that has a wonderful view to
the eastern steep sides of Ktenias
Mountain. You will also have the opportunity to visit the chapel of St. George.
