Nafplio

Nafplio is one of the most charming cities in Europe and all over the world. Just two hours by car from Athens, Nafplio is known as the most beautiful and romantic town in Greece. It is set in a spectacular location, on a small harbor beneath the towering Palamidi fortress, and is filled with beautiful narrow streets, elegant Venetian houses, neoclassical castles and other great museums. It's also a place where you can drink, dine and have coffee at your leisure, as well as enjoy some shopping while staying at modern yet classic boutique hotels.

Nafplio was briefly the first capital of the Greek Republic after the Greek Revolution of 1821, until 1934. This magical town is now a perfect destination for all seasons but ideally in the fall. Pubs, restaurants, cafes, museums, bars and archeological sites remain open in the fall and winter, and the passage of time creates an indescribable sense of peace. Like Paris, this beautiful town is ideal for walking as you can stroll and enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the Old Town, with its bougainvillea-lined streets, hidden squares and splendid neoclassical castles.

Location: Nafplio, Peloponnesos, Greece.
