Nafplio, Greece

Why Walk Nafplio

Nafplio served as the first capital of modern Greece from 1829 to 1834. The town is dramatically fortified — the Palamidi fortress crowns the hill above, the Bourtzi castle sits on an island in the harbor, and the Acronauplia citadel occupies the rocky peninsula. The old town below is a charming grid of Venetian and neoclassical buildings, pedestrian lanes, and hidden squares.
