A pearl of the Argolic Gulf, Nafplio has become popular with both holidaymakers and international home hunters. The first capital of the modern nation after independence in the 19th century, it retains an alluring mixture of medieval, neoclassical, and Venetian architecture witnessed throughout its history. The old town is a maze of narrow streets and large squares with historical houses and bustling cafes.

A massive medieval castle known as Palamidi Castle watches over the town as evidence of its historic significance. Visitors who make the climb up 999 steps to the top are rewarded with stunning views of the sea and countryside. In the bay sits another stronghold still protecting this small castlet that acted as a prison until it settled one of the district's primary homes called Bourtzi.

The promenade is a popular place to walk and enjoy the sea air, with a nod to the town's maritime history. There are museums and churches, offering a glimpse into the history that has accumulated over centuries. With a combination of rich heritage sites and scenic landscapes, this locale offers visitors a perfect mix of cultural engagement and peace in an escapade.
