When you are driving the main road from Ancient Mycenae, going to Nafplio, you have to drive through the city Argos. When you are arriving Argos you can see a castle on the top of a hill behind the city. We just had to make a visit to this castle. The walls around were very much intact, but inside the fortification the most was destroyed and overgrown with grass and flowers. There were no guards or entrance fee like it would be on more famous archaeological places. But first, let us see two pictures of a flowery meadow we discovered on our way up here.

Travel report continues from day 3 (Sunday April 16th 2000)

On our way up to Ancient Mycenae and Larissa fortification, we found an unbelievable meadow. It was covered with thousands and thousands of dark red poppies. They were almost purple. In between we could see some light yellow and white ones. We have never ever seen anything like this, it must be experienced. I’m afraid that these pictures never will do the meadow the justice it deserves.
