Argos is the first formed town in Greece, as well as in Europe. It covered an area of 1000 m² in the past and composed a large worksite in ancient times. A lot of ancient secrets are possible to be hiden as it is the only town inhabited on its bones for 4 thousand in succesion.

Argos was build by Foroneas, son and succesor of the first king of Argos, Inahos, and maintains its name till today. It was named, according to the legend, under the name of the grandson of Foroneas, Argos. The whole town was protected by high walls, built during the kingship of Inahos.

The emblem of the town is the head of a wolf, representing the omnipotence of the first integrated town-state in the area of Medirerranean since it afforded great facilities, such as the castle Larisa and the theatre.

Among the many churches found in the prefecture of Argolida worth visiting is the church of Zoodohos Pighi, located in Kefalari a small village 6 km outside Argos.

Worth mentioning are also the ancient artists for their priceless contribution to civilization and the human kind. Their life's-work, at least as it is today maintained, is kept in the Archeological museum of Argos.
