Nafplio is a picturesque and atmospheric town in the Peloponnese, full of history, romance, and vibrant tradition. It’s one of the most beloved destinations for a day trip and offers countless options for dining, relaxation, and accommodation — with something to suit every taste and age. On your way to Nafplio, you’ll also have the chance to admire the famous Corinth Canal, a remarkable feat of engineering and architecture that connects the Saronic and Corinthian gulfs. It’s a unique point of interest for every visitor.
Nafplio, which served as the first capital of modern Greece, is considered one of the country’s most charming and photogenic towns. Its cobbled alleys with colorful houses, preserved neoclassical buildings, tucked-away squares, and scenic seafront promenade create a postcard-perfect setting.
While exploring the old town, you’ll find quaint local shops, enjoy a relaxing walk, and take a break at one of the many traditional tavernas or cozy cafés. Here, you can savor authentic Greek cuisine and fine local wine while soaking in beautiful views of the harbor and the open sea.
A highlight not to be missed is the iconic Bourtzi — the small fortress built on an islet just across from Nafplio’s port. Accessible by boat, Bourtzi is one of the town’s most recognizable landmarks. It offers panoramic views of the town and coastline, along with a unique sense of romance, history, and sea breeze that leaves a lasting impression on every visitor.
Nafplio, 90 minutes from Athens, is a picturesque town with great accommodation, dining, and leisure. On the way, see the historic Corinth Canal linking two gulfs.
