The Property — Anassia Villas
Anassia Villas is a friendly, family-run three-star property in the quiet residential part of Argos. The lobby feels like a modest, clean Greek guesthouse, with tile floors and a small reception desk. Ten villas are set around a central pool and garden, which compensates for the lack of full service or on-site restaurant. It suits independent travellers and small families who want a simple base and a pool, not fuss or frills.
Chronicles of Argos
Argos is one of Europe’s oldest continuously inhabited settlements, with evidence of Neolithic occupation from the 6th millennium BC. It was a major Mycenaean power and later a rival to Sparta in the Classical era. The city’s Roman theatre, built into a hillside, seats 20,000 and dates from the 2nd century AD. Venetian and Ottoman fortifications crown the Larissa and Aspis hills. Today, Argos feels like a working market town, its dusty streets and modern shops layered over an extraordinary ancient grid.
Best Time to Visit
Full Argos guide →Best months
May and June, plus September and October, for temperatures in the mid-20s to low 30s, lower humidity, and fewer European package tourists than July and August.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are peak, when Athens and the islands spill day-trippers into the Peloponnese and local temperatures routinely hit 35–38°C. Hotel prices in Argos rise 30–40% above May rates mainly because of demand for Nafplio and Mycenae, both a 15-minute drive away.
Budget shoulder season
April, May, late-September and October offer discounts of up to 25–40% compared to high summer, with rain usually brief and daytime highs under 30°C.
Weather & packing
Argos sits in a rain-shadow east of the Taygetus mountains, so July is reliably dry and cloudless. Pack a high-SPF sunscreen, a broad-brimmed hat, and light trousers or a wrap for evenings, as the town has few air-conditioned public indoor spaces.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Anassia Villas, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first floor or above, facing the rear courtyard or side street away from Argos main road. These rooms are likely quieter and have a more private aspect.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms, especially those facing the street. Street noise in Argos can be significant, and ground-floor rooms are also more exposed to passersby and potential noise from the lobby or breakfast area.
Best views
Rooms facing the rear garden or courtyard offer a pleasant outlook away from the street. Upper-floor rooms with a view over the town or towards the Argos plain may also be good, but confirm at check-in.
Quietest floors
First floor and above (upper floors) are generally quieter, as they are further from street-level noise and any ground-floor common areas.
🔊 Noise notes
Argos is a working town with busy streets, especially during daytime. The main road in front of the hotel will carry traffic noise, but side-street rooms or those at the back are significantly quieter. Occasional church bells or local events can be heard, but these are part of the character.
Insider tips
1. Park on the street or in the nearby public car park just off the main road; the hotel does not have a private car park. 2. Ask at reception for a room with a small balcony or terrace – some rooms have one and it's worth requesting if you want to sit out.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top Attractions in Argos
💡 Buy a small bag of freshly shelled walnuts or a wedge of aged myzithra cheese from the dairy stall near the main entrance. Best visited before 11am when the selection is fullest.
💡 Walk up the steps to the top rows for a sweeping view of Argos and the plain towards Nafplio. Go in the late afternoon when the light is golden.
💡 Park near the church of Agios Petros and walk up the stepped path – it’s a steep 15-minute climb but worth it. No water or shade at the top, so bring a bottle and a hat.
💡 It’s often locked – ask at the café opposite for the key, or visit during Sunday morning service. The frescoes are faded but atmospheric.
💡 The €3 ticket (reduced to €2 in winter) also covers the nearby archaeological museum – buy the combo ticket. Go early to avoid the heat and see the mosaics in the bath complex clearly.
