8Nafplio: A Picturesque Seaside Gem
Nafplio, often considered one of the most beautiful towns in Greece, is located on the Peloponnese peninsula. The city’s Old Town, with its Venetian and Ottoman architecture, is a charming labyrinth of narrow streets and squares. The Palamidi Fortress, perched on a hill overlooking the town, offers breathtaking views of the Argolic Gulf.
Bourtzi Castle, a small fortress situated on an island in the harbor, adds to the city’s unique character. Nafplio’s picturesque harbor and its proximity to historic sites like Epidaurus and Mycenae make it a perfect base for exploring the Peloponnese.
