In the eastern Argolid, the remains of an Early Christian house offer a rare glimpse of domestic life in ancient Hermione, a port town whose roots reach back through Roman, Hellenistic, Classical, and Archaic times. Excavations between 1976 and 2005 uncovered traces of Late Roman and Early Christian occupation here, alongside churches and fortifications. The house itself speaks to the everyday rhythms of a Byzantine-era household in a settlement layered with centuries of history. Protected as a building of heritage significance, the site rewards travelers who linger over the quiet details of ordinary lives lived long ago.
