The Sanc­tu­ary of Po­sei­don on Kalau­reia is lo­cated on the is­land of Poros in the Sa­ronic Gulf, c. 6 km from Poros town. The site lies on a plateau be­tween the hills of Aghios Elias and Vigla and holds a com­mand­ing po­si­tion c. 200 m above sea level. To the north there is a vi­sual con­nec­tion with the Methana penin­sula as well as the is­lands of Angistri and Aig­ina, while in the far dis­tance it is pos­si­ble to see Pireus and the coast­line of At­tica on clear days. To the south, the vis­i­tor can catch glimpses of the sea against the back­ground of the steep Pelo­pon­nesian coast.

The city of Sou­fli in north­ern Greece once lay along the Silk Road. It was an im­por­tant Eu­ro­pean cen­tre for silk pro­duc­tion in the 19^th cen­tury and still main­tain this in­dus­try, from lar­vae to fin­ished fab­ric, al­beit on a smaller scale. In this unique en­vi­ron­ment, the Swedish In­sti­tute at Athens brings to­gether stu­dents from Kon­st­fack, the Stock­holm Uni­ver­sity of Arts, Craft and De­sign, and stu­dents from the cor­re­spond­ing Athens in­sti­tu­tion Athens School of Fine Arts.

The site of Asine is lo­cated c. 8 km south-west of to­day’s city of Nau­plio. The an­cient re­mains here are spread out over the top and slopes of the 330 m long and 50 m tall acrop­o­lis cliff jut­ting out into the Ar­go­lis bay, as well as on the Bar­bouna hill just to the west. On both sides of the acrop­o­lis there are beaches, the west­ern one pro­vid­ing an ex­cel­lent har­bour. Across from the acrop­o­lis the is­land of Romvi func­tions as a break­wa­ter, pro­tect­ing the land­ing.

The acrop­o­lis of Midea and its im­por­tant Late Bronze Age citadel is lo­cated on a 270 m tall con­i­cal hill in the Ar­golid, 1.5 km from the con­tem­po­rary ceme­tery at Den­dra and about mid­way be­tween Tiryns and Myce­nae. From the top of the hill, look­ing south and west the site of­fers a mag­nif­i­cent view of the Ar­give plain and gulf. To the north and east the tall in­land moun­tains dom­i­nate the land­scape. This view, mak­ing it pos­si­ble to mon­i­tor the plain and its ap­proaches, pos­si­bly con­tributed to the im­por­tance of the site dur­ing the Bronze Age. 

The vil­lage of Den­dra is lo­cated about six km east of the town of Ar­gos in the Ar­golid. The ear­li­est re­mains here are of habi­ta­tion dur­ing the Early Ne­olithic and Early Hel­ladic pe­ri­ods in the form of build­ing foun­da­tions and scat­tered pot­tery frag­ments. How­ever, the site is more im­por­tant ar­chae­o­log­i­cally due to its Bronze Age ceme­tery, con­sist­ing of a tho­los, three tu­muli and 16 cham­ber tombs. Over­all, it is one of the rich­est Myce­nean ceme­ter­ies known. Pre­sum­ably it was con­nected to the set­tle­ment at an­cient Midea, lo­cated c. 1.5 km to the south east, al­though most Myce­nean bur­ial places are found closer to their set­tle­ments than this.
