Legend holds that Argos, a monster endowed with 100 unblinking eyes, once stalked the northern Peloponnese, subduing unruly satyrs and burly bulls. While these creatures have left no tangible remains behind, the region’s ruins of stone temples and fortresses reveal the spirit of the great ancient cities—Mycenae, Corinth, and Argos—that once competed for control of land and sea. The bustling ports hearken back to a day when merchants peddled simpler wares, while secluded mountain villages preserve a more traditional, relaxed way of life.
