Your driver will pick you up from your hotel early in the morning. Enjoy the scenery on the coastal highway that leads to Argolis. On a clear day you can see the island of Salamis, off the coast of which a fierce naval battle took place in 480 B.C. between the coalition of the Greek city-states and the fleet of the Persian empire.
