Down the lanes and alleys of this area find café-lined squares, old churches, museums and parks. Visit the city’s three castles and stroll along the breezy waterfront.

Nafplion City Centre is the historic core of the first capital city of modern Greece. It’s a place shaped over thousands of years by the Romans, Byzantines and Venetians, among others. Discover archeaological treasures and architectural wonders while wandering the streets of Nafplion City Centre. People-watch from pavement cafés and delve into regional history at superb museums.

With vivid bougainvillea plants hanging from the balconies of neoclassical mansions, the Old Town resembles a scene from a romance movie. At its heart is Syntagma Square, an elegant paved plaza framed by bars, restaurants and two Turkish mosques. Glimpse into city history from prehistoric times at the Archaeological Museum of Nafplio. Learn about prayer beads at the Komboloi Museum and military history at the War Museum.

Follow winding cobblestone streets uphill to the ruined fortress of Acronafplia. The fort’s ramparts afford magnificent views of the Old Town and Argolic Gulf. Observe spiritual devotion at the Church of Agios Georgios, Church of Agios Spyridon and Church of Panagia. The Peloponnesian Folklore Foundation is a treasure trove of period clothing, furniture and everyday artifacts.

Watch fishing trawlers and passenger ferries come and go from the busy Port of Nafplio. Boats depart for Bourtzi Castle, built by the Venetians in the 1470s to protect the city from invaders. From the port, palm-shaded Arvanitia Promenade wraps around the coastline in the shadow of defensive walls and cliffs. Bring your swimsuit and towel to Arvanitia Beach.

Kolokotronis Park invites you to get away from the crowds, sit beneath tall trees and amble along wide pavements. Study the Kolokontronis Statue, an equestrian memorial to Greek independence hero Theodoros Kolokotronis. Exhibitions at the National Gallery Nafplion Annex celebrate the Greek War of Independence. Climb over 900 steps to Palamidi Castle for unprecedented city, bay and mountain views.

The best way to get around Nafplio City Centre is on foot. Drivers can park for free at the port. Dozens of hotels and guesthouses provide accommodation options amid a captivating Venetian charm.
