Ermioni - is a small port town and a former municipality in Argolis, Peloponnese. It is a popular tourist resort.
The place has been continuously inhabited, at least since the times of Homer. Long before classical times ancient Hermione was settled by Dryopians.
During the classic era it was well known for its shipbuilders and also for the production of porphyra, a very important red dye. This dye was used for the colouring of the uniforms of many armies including that of Alexander the Great. It controlled a wider region named Hermionis.
During the Ottoman Era it was still known for ship building and its naval abilities, which played a significant role in the Greek revolution of 1821.
