8Nafplio
Nafplio, a picturesque coastal town situated in the northeastern part of the Peloponnese, is often referred to as one of the most beautiful towns in Greece. This historic town was the first capital of modern Greece after the Greek War of Independence in the 19th century. Nafplio boasts a stunning Venetian old town with narrow streets, elegant neoclassical mansions, and a majestic fortress, Palamidi, crowning the hill above the town.
Visitors can explore the old town’s charming alleyways, dine in traditional Greek tavernas, and admire the beautiful sea views from the Syntagma Square. Don’t forget to visit Bourtzi, a small fortress situated on an islet just off the coast, which adds to the town’s undeniable charm.
