This is one of the most charming towns in
Greece, with one of the best preserved Old towns to be found anywhere. After the
war of Independence against the Turks, Nafplion became the capital of the Greek
state and flourished accordingly. It makes an excellent base for exploring the
surrounding area and especially the nearby archaeological sites of
Corinth, Mycenae and
Epidauros, the various villages by the sea and the
islands of the Saronic Gulf (Hydra, Poros and Spetses).
How to get there:
