Arriving at Nafplio, the town was the capital of the First Hellenic Republic and of the Kingdom of Greece, from the start of the Greek Revolution in 1821 until 1834. Follow a dream trail to discover Náfplio’s precious gems starting from the medieval Old Town, the narrow cobblestone alleys, the neoclassical well preserved mansions with the Bougainvillea trees adorning their yards and balconies and the Turkish fountains. Afterward, stop in the pretty seaport of Nafplio. Stroll in a private mode and taste delightful Greek dishes in a tavern recommended by locals.
