From August 1st to August 25th of 2018, the big annual cultural event "August and Monuments" revives, which takes place in Nafplio during the past four years. Five important archaeological sites and monuments of the area open to the public with free admission, and will host great artists.
Important monuments and archaeological sites of our region are getting "alive" in the beautiful evenings of August, to communicate with us, aiming to give the world the opportunity for quality musical evenings without a ticket, as well as the opportunity these exquisite monuments to be open and close to those who have not yet visited them.
The events are organized by the Municipality of Nafplio, in collaboration with the Ephorate of Antiquities of Argolis.
