Argolis is situated in the eastern Peloponnese and it has access to both the Argolic and the Saronic Gulf, it borders with Corinth in the north and with Arcadia in the southwest. Its close proximity to Athens allows for its direct connection to the capital, while it is also a very accessible tourist destination.
Being inhabited since the Paleolithic Times, Argolis was throughout antiquity one of the most important centers of the Peloponnese, culminating in the Bronze Age, when the Mycenae civilization was prosperous. In the years to follow, Argos developed into a Doric center, while during the Hellenistic times, the Asklipieio, a healing center in Epidaurus, became particularly glorious.
Alongside its timeless historic value, Argolis is also an agricultural paradise, with its famous citrus products, its well-known melons, its excellent olive oil, while its cheese-making industry is also very developed. As a result, the products which come from Argolis deserve our particular attention.
