The City

Narrow streets, beautiful squares, Bourtzi island under the light and Palamidi with the 999 steps, are waiting to welcome the visitor. This seaport's history stretches back to classical antiquity in a region that's one of the most ancient in Greece.


With the aroma of basil wafting through the air… the old town of Nafplio takes you by hand for a magic walk in another more romantic and beautiful time. Old buildings, picturesque and graceful, many with balconies that appear to embrace one another..
