Located just 2 hours from Athens, Nafplion is not only one of the most beautiful towns in Greece, but also the perfect base for exploring the many ancient wonders, including the UNESCO heritage sites of Epidaurus and Mycenea as well as the Greek wine country: Nemea and Mantinea . The old town consists of narrow marble paved streets around a large square, full of cafes, restaurants, shops and is crowned by the magnificent Venetian fortress called Palamidi, located at the very top of the old town. Nafplion is lovely and lively all year round and a definite must when visiting the Argolid in the Peloponnese.
