We crossed the Corinth Canal into the Peloponnese and our first stay was Nafplio, the capital of the newly formed Greek state in 1823. Nafplio had three fortifications: Byzantine castle of Acronafplia, the Venetian fortresses of Bourtzi (built 1471 to protect the city from pirates) and Palamidi built 1711-1714. Ancient Argolis was the seat of power of the Mycenaean Empire that ruled Greece from 1600-1100 BC. We visited the citadels of Tiryns with massive Cyclopean walls and Mycenae with the grave circles, royal tombs and Treasury of Atreus. The sanctuary at Epidaurus was named after the god of medicine Asclepios, during the 4th- 3rd c.BC, pilgrims came from all over the Mediterranean seeking healing. We photographed ruins of the Katagogion, Hestorian complex with the Propylon, the Abaton where the patients were cured, the Tholos, the stadium that hosted athletic games in honour of Asclepios and the world's best preserved ancient theatre with amazing acoustics, and capacity for 13,000 spectators.
