Everything about Argolis totally explained
Argolis (
Greek, Modern:
Αργολίδα Argolida, Ancient/Katharevousa:
Ἀργολίς—still the official, formal name) is one of the fifty-one
prefectures of Greece. It is located in the eastern part of the
Peloponnese. Most arable land lies in the central part. Its primary agricultural resources are
oranges and
olives, and beaches are found in the south and east; mountains and hills dominate the west, northeast and east.
It is bounded by
Arcadia to the west and southwest,
Corinthia to the north, the
Saronic Gulf, the
Attica prefecture and the
Troezen area to the east and southeast over water, and the
Argolic Gulf to the south. (The Argolid of ancient times included Troezen.)
Its mountain ranges include
Lyrkeia and
Trachy in the northwest.
History
From
1833 to
1899, the prefecture was part
Argolidocorinthia, which included
Hydra,
Spetses and
Kythira. It joined Corinthia to form Argolidocorinthia again in 1909.
Forty years later, in
1949, the prefecture was finally separated from Corinthia.
See also Argolidocorinthia.
In early
1998, a flash flood carrying muddy water swept through the valley near Argos and devastated citrus crops and other area agriculture, including olives and other crops, and grazing areas. Damages were several million drachmas, then still the currency of Greece.
