Overview
Nafplio is probably the most beautiful and romantic city of Greece. It was the first capital of the Hellenic Republic between 1823 and 1834. Ancient walls, medieval castles, monuments and statues, Ottoman fountains and Venetian or neoclassical buildings create a unique scenery that will capture your mind. Moreover, the city provides many options for shopping and tasting the best gelato.

Nafplio

We’ll drive out of the city along the western coastline of Attica and after almost 80km, we will have our first stop to see the Corinth Canal.
Corinth Canal

This canal is probably the oldest major construction work in Greece (dated 1880-1893) that really changed everything in transportation, allowing ship interconnection between the Ionian and the Aegean Sea.
Palamidi Castle
1h · Admission ticket not included
You will visit the spectacular Palamide castle. Perched above the city of Nafplio, this castle was built by the Venetians in 1711–1714. There is the option either to follow the famous steps (999 in total) until the castle entrance or to drive directly to the top and be rewarded with stunning views over the whole surrounding area.
Nafplio
2h
We will then come down to the city where many options for a pleasant lunch are available for you, either inside the old picturesque town or by the sea with a great view of Bourtzi. Located on a tiny island off the harbor, Bourtzi was also built by Venetians in the 15th century and has known a long history as a castle, prison, hotel, office for tourism and housing for the Greek government.
