When you find yourself in Nafplio, either strolling in the city centre to admire the Venetian architecture or walking down the promenade by the sea, the old town is the perfect romantic getaway, just 2 hours from Athens.
Spending a day in the old town of Nafplio is like reliving the most important events of contemporary Greek history. The first capital of the Greek State after the Turkish rule was also the place where the first King was enthroned and where the first governor of the country was murdered.
In addition, the town bears the intense mark of the Venetian rule, evident in the city’s landmarks, one of which is the impressive Palamidi, as well as in trivial things, like the gelato you can enjoy while walking in the narrow, cobbled streets.
