Nafplion
Just a 2-hour-drive from Athens, Nafplion is a popular weekend destination all year round. It is considered to be one of the most beautiful towns in the area of Argolis in eastern Peloponnese. The town of Nafplion was the first capital of the newly born Greek state between 1823 and 1834 and has an intense medieval atmosphere.
Walk around the narrow paved streets of the Old Town and visit the imposing fortress of Palamidi with the amazing view to the sea. Frankish, Venetian and Turkish conquerors left their mark in the town and strongly influenced its culture, architecture and traditions during the centuries. Visiting Nafplion is like a trip to the past and it’s a great daytrip choice, while its lovely beach resorts make it a great place for summer holidays, too.
