Nafplio Old Town
Nafplio is one of the most beautiful small towns in Greece, the first capital of modern Greece, with Venetian and Ottoman architecture, a fortified harbor, and the Palamidi Fortress on the hill above. Free to walk the old town. Budget travelers take the cheap bus from Athens (2 hours), walk the waterfront promenade, and discover a town that feels like a miniature Italian Riviera transplanted to the Peloponnese.
