🇬🇷 11 Reasons you need to visit Nafplio Greece (Day Trip from Athens)
Ойын-сауық
Nafplio, in the Peloponnese, Greece is an amazing town near Athens, located only about 90 minutes drive. These are my 11 reasons to visit!
It is a must for anyone considering a day trip from Athens, or a longer trip into the Peloponnese. A beautiful Medieval Venetian city, on the Greek coast, it is perfect for a stay of 2 or 3 days, and ideally located to visit many famous ancient sites.
30 Minutes from Mykines, 30 minutes from Epidaurus, you will pass Corinth on the way down. Argos, Kalamata, Sparta, Ancient Messini and Olympia are also within easy reach.
If you wish to HIRE A CAR to Explore Greece I suggest you use a comparison site.

Nafplio has a beautiful seaside promenade with a famous sunset, many great restaurants, independent shops, pensions and Hotels for every budget.
It comes alive at night with a vibrant community and vibe all year round, remaining open, even in the Autumn and Winter.
It is easily reached from Athens via car, or organised tour, and has many cruise ships stop to visit in the summer.

Glad you enjoyed, and I will have a look at your channel too. especially appreciated from a fellow travel YT. 2 nights, perhaps 3 is perfect in Nafplio, and it is an ideal base for exploring the historical sites of the local area. When are you coming?

I actually went to Kyparissia but I never made a video, I didn't find anything I could really recommend - sorry. I am sure it is great, but as you know, there is no real seafront, and the town is nice, but not somewhere I felt I could recommend specifically visiting. I am happy to revisit if you can direct me as to how I should approach it.@@billmeret
Planning a trip to Nafplio? Take the best book for exploring the streets, squares and castles: NAFPLIO: BIOGRAPHY OF A GREEK TOWN by Matt Stanley.
Hi Andrew we are going to be spending a week in the Peloponnese in August. What is Nafplio like during the August 15 holiday? Will it be a zoo or will it be quiet like Athens (i've heard everyone leaves town for festival). Would it be rude to check in/out of a hotel on the 15th? We dont want to ruin anyones day😅
@GreeceExplored

Nafplio will be busy, it is the 15th as you say, but everywhere other than Athens will be busy (though the centre can still be too). I would not worry about the date and just enjoy, everyone likes to see holidaymakers all year round!
Hello! Do you think 2 days is too much for Nafplio? Thanks

Is Napflio better than Volos?
@GreeceExplored
18 күн бұрын
raid I haven't been to Volos so can't really offer an opinion. Looking at photos online they look very different for comparison. Volos looks larger, Nafplio prettier. Nafplio is fab as a base for exploring Mycenaean and Hellenic sites nearby.

@@Mongoose-ct6us not really, Kalamata is great too, for Mani, Monemvasia, Ancient Messini and Koroni, Pylos etc, but Nafplio has Epidavros, Mycenae, Corinth, Tiryns, and places like Tolo, Paralio Astros. Both are good though. The sites around Nafplio are closer to Nafplio.
