The Bronze age Mycenaean chieftains certainly knew what they were doing when they build their citadel. It's built on top of a conical hill at an altitude of 270m, and 170m from the surrounding area. This one is captured within the (cyclopic) walls of the citadel. The citadel is located in the middle of the axis between Mycenae and Tiryns and dominates the eastern edge of Argolida valley.

This strategic location with its panoramic views enable control of the entire valley and the Argolida bay.

Midea is considered the third most important fortified Mycenaean Acropolis of Argolis, after aforementioned Mycenae and Tiryns.

Kranidi, Argolida - Greece

Nafplio is a coastal city located in the Peloponnese in Greece that is the capital of the regional unit of Argolis and an important touristic destination. Founded in antiquity, the city became an important seaport in the Middle Ages during the Frankokratia as part of the lordship of Argos and Nauplia, held initially by the de la Roche following the Fourth Crusade before coming under the Republic of Venice and, lastly, the Ottoman Empire. The city was the second capital of the First Hellenic Republic and of the Kingdom of Greece, from 1827 until 1834.

Listen to Truth To Power

I could tell you I was fragile

I could tell you I was weak

I could write you out a letter

To tell you anything you need

I've seen minutes turn to hours

Hours turn to years

And I've seen truth turn to power

If you could see me the way I see you

If you could feel me the way I feel you

You'd be a believer

You'd be a believer

Minutes turn to hours

Hours turn to years

And I've seen truth turn to power

I could tell you I was ageless

But I know you see the light

I could tell you I'm immune to everything

But that's a lie

Dust don't turn to flowers

Skies don't disappear

But I've seen truth to power

Oh, if you could see me the way I see you

If you could feel me the way I feel you

You'd be a believer (believer)

You'd be a believer (believer)

You'd be a believer (believer)

You'd be a believer (believer)

Hard to keep goin' on (hard to keep goin' on)

I said it's hard to keep goin' on (hard to keep goin' on)

It's hard to keep goin' on (hard to keep goin' on)

If you could see me the way I see you

If you could feel me the way I feel you

You'd be a believer

You'd be a believer

You'd be a believer

Be a believer

Be a believer (believer)

You'd be (be a believer)

Minutes turn to hours

Hours turn to years

And I've seen truth turn to power

Nafplio, Argolis, Greece

Even the strongest wind is not strong enough sometimes.

Tiryns was a hill fort with occupation ranging back seven thousand years, from before the beginning of the Bronze Age. It reached its height of importance between 1400 and 1200 BC, when it became one of the most important centers of the Mycenaean world, and in particular in Argolis. Its most notable features were its palace, its Cyclopean tunnels and especially its walls, which gave the city its Homeric epithet of "mighty walled Tiryns".
