Asine, Archaeological site in Nafplio, Greece.
The ancient ruins of Asine extend across a coastal promontory, featuring stone walls, foundations of houses, and remnants of public structures from multiple periods.
Swedish archaeologists Axel Persson and Otto Frodin conducted extensive excavations at Asine during the 1920s, uncovering Mycenaean artifacts and architectural elements.
The archaeological site gained literary recognition through George Seferis' acclaimed poem 'The King of Asine', which contemplates the ruins and their historical significance.
Visitors can explore the archaeological remains while enjoying views of two adjacent beaches, with informational signs explaining the site's historical development throughout centuries.
Italian forces during World War II transformed the ancient site into a military position, constructing machine gun nests and trenches that altered parts of the structure.
