I had a very nice ride from Nafplion to Argos. I passionately love motorbikes, so I actually rented one to discover the area wth it. I didn't regret. When you see the pure, real side of Greece and not the crowded touristy one, you just fall in love with it.

You should definitely see the Ancient City if you like walking in the past, the ruins are rather good maintained and also the Argos Museum with some great findings and a lot of things to see.

Chalkida History

When the Romans took over Chalkida, the city had once again gained some mercantile affluence.
