Advanced history

From 1833 to 1899, Argolis was some piece of Argolidocorinthia, which included present Corinthia, Hydra, Spetses and Kythira. It joined Corinthia to structure Argolidocorinthia again in 1909. After forty years, in 1949, Argolis was at last divided from Corinthia.

Administration

The provincial unit Argolis is subdivided into 4 districts. These are (number as in the guide in the infobox):[1]

Argos-Mykines (2)

Epidaurus (Epidavros, 3)

Ermionida (4)

Prefecture

As a piece of the 2011 Kallikratis government change, the provincial unit Argolis was made out of the previous prefecture Argolis (Greek: Νομός Αργολίδας). The prefecture had the same region as the present local unit. In the meantime, the regions were redesigned, as indicated by the table below.[1]
