Nafplio
4 things to see
Nafplio is a graceful Peloponnese port town with a Venetian castle, free coastal walks, and an old town that feels more Italian than Greek. Wandering the marble streets, strolling the seafront path around the headland, and climbing the long stairway up to the Palamidi fortress for sweeping bay views cost little or nothing. As the first capital of modern Greece it makes an easy and affordable escape from Athens, well worth a couple of slow days in shoulder season.
